Would it be possible for strings in VC++ 6 to be highlighted like in the newer VC++ 2008.

MSVC++ 2008:

char szString[4] = "o.O";


MSVC++ 6:

char szString[4] = "o.O";


May seem small but it gets annoying after a while

You can already do this, simply go into:

VC6 tools menu -> Options -> Format tab -> Colors = String

and set the foreground and background colour that you want. Personally I always do this on systems that I use, I like my strings to be in a distinct colour, I find this helps
