Think I solved it by changing my-c++-mode-hook to:
(defun my-c++-mode-hook ()
  ; Customizations for C++ mode in CC Mode
  (delete-selection-mode 1)
  (set-cursor-color "Red")
  (c-set-style "ellemtel") ; Default style for c++ is "gnu"
  )
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'my-c++-mode-hook)

The changes wasn't visible in already opened c++ files even though I
selected byte-compile-and-load. But I restarted emacs it works. Now I
need to figure out
how to change one setting in ellementel mode.
