Add the following associations and parsers to your %APPDATA%\Notepad++\functionList.xml and restart Notepad++ (presuming you used N++ to edit the XML file :-) ).

<association id= "visualbasic_syntax" langID="18" />
<!-- <association id= "visualbasic_subfuncprop" langID="18" /> -->

Note: the two associations are mutual exclusive hence one is commented out.
