Getting vim to recognize objects?

Vim is swell about turning standard varbiable types green - like:

int myAge;
double myIQ;

or whatnot.

But if I have a class Point and declare a Point:
Point upperLeftCorner;
Point lowerRightCorner;

instead of high-lighting the word Point, it shows up white like any
other word.

Any setting in vim to get it to recognize declared class types ?

Thanks

You can type

:syn keyword cType Point

This will color "Point" in green.


But what if you have this

namespace Math { class Point { }; }

int main() {
Math::Point Point;
}

Here you want the Math::Point to show up in green, but only both Point will
show up in green.

thanks. i was hoping there was a way vim could do this dynamically so I
don't have to type in each class name, but it is good to know this
option is there.

thanks again

I have found the tips on vim's homepage to be exceedingly helpful. You
could try looking through them.
