[omniORB] a fundamental question

[Steven W. Brenneis]

The /Tp or /TP options are used in the compiler to accomplish this. /Tp
allows you to specify a single file as a C++ source, /TP specifies all
files on the command line as C++ source. If you want Dev Studio to treat
the .cc files correctly in the IDE (editing, source coloring, etc.), you
must set the following registry values:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cc = "cppfile" (String Value)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.cc = "cppfile" (String Value)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio\5.0\Build
System\Components\Platforms\Win32 (x86)\Tools\32-bit C/C++ Compiler for
80x86\Input Spec = "*.c;*.cpp;*.cxx;*.cc" (String Value)

These are the registry settings for DevStudio 5.0, I doubt they have
changed in 6.0. Just substitute 6.0 for 5.0 in your registry search.

Hope this helps.
