   MSVS, colorized keywords, usertypes.dat
  I remember some hack that could be done with Visual Studio by placing a text file named usertypes.dat (?) into a certain directory with a single keyword on each line.Does anyone know exactly which directory, and if that's the correct filename? I've been trying to place it into the same directory with devenv.exe (C:\Program Files\MSVS\Common7\IDE\ on my system). I've closed MSVS down and restarted after changes, but it's having no effect. Is there an option I need to toggle for this to work?I'm using the 2003 version, 7.1.3088. And I've actually had the usertypes.dat working with this version before a hard drive reformat.Thanks for any information.   
  Do these exact instructions help you: Defining Keywords in Visual C++? I could guess you have forgotten the step number five.  [smile]   ;  I think the only difference is that it should be 'usertype.dat' (not 'types')?   ;Quote:Original post by NypyrenI think the only difference is that it should be 'usertype.dat' (not 'types')? That too, quite right.;  Oops.I googled for "usertypes.dat" and saw results from Microsoft, so assumed that was it.Thanks. You both get rating boosts for helping me with my personal quest :)
