Highlighting IDE controlled by macro

Is it possible to change colors of lines and words in program code from a macro?
I would like to be able to do this from theDocumentOpened andLineChanged events.

The code I need this for is actually Cobol, where I want to paint lines starting with asterisc (comments) with one color, and my choice of keywords with another color.

Unfortunately it is not possible to do this with a Macro. If you want to colorize another language your best bet is to download the VS SDK and create a language service using the wizard.

Thanks,

Dylan
