How to find out where a specific macro is defined in Visual Studio

I currently have a visual studio project that uses DirectX. There are several macros in the code, for example

__range(0, m_lBatchSize)  LONG  m_nBatched;
__field_ecount_opt(m_lBatchSize) IMediaSample  **      m_ppSamples;

I wanted to know in which files these macros are defined. Normally in Visual Studio I would choose a goto definition and that would lead me to a specific one. In this case, they won't take me. Does this feature work for macros? Is there a way to find out where this macro is defined?

My trick is to deliver

#define __range FOO


in my code, the preprocessor will then say

__range already defined at xxxx.nn
