I've been recently learning cmake and I want to use the command configure_file to generate .cpp file because I need dynamic values created from cmake variables in my source files. However, it seems that VSCode doesn't recognize the extension .cpp.in, therefore the editor doesn't show any autosuggestion or highlight. But VSCode still recognizes the extension .h.in and shows perfectly autosuggestion and highlight. Can someone suggest a way to make VSCode to recognize the extension .cpp.in? Thank a lot :)

You have to associate the extension with the language.
In Settings, search for Files:Associations. Select the Add Item Button and specify *.in as key and cpp as value. From now on all files with the extension .in are associated with c++. I don't know if *.cpp.in will work, you have to test that on your own.
