Subject: grep question

I want to search the source tree for certain strings, but only certain
types of files (e.g. cpp or h files). grep has a --recursive option,
but it doesn't allow you to specify a file extension with that option,
so it searches all files, including the obj and binary files which takes
forever. Is there a way to limit a grep search to an extension, or do I
have to write a tiny shell script that does it? This is such a common
thing to do, I'm sure I'm missing something....
This is on linux, BTW.
