No, it's an object (or, if you like, an action) represented by a symbol:
// Generated by IB
#define IDC_CUT 1
#define IDC_COPY 2
#define IDC_PASTE 3
// Coded by Joe Soap
switch (tag)
{
case IDC_CUT:
...
case IDC_COPY:
...
case IDC_PASTE:
...
}
It frees you from worrying about what the numerical values actually are. IB
should [be free to] assign those, although there might be issues if you want
values to be unique across more than one NIB (Visual Studio handles this by
allowing you to set a 'starting value', per resource file, e.g. 1000, 2000,
...).
