The IDSymbol element contains the ID of the GUID:ID pair that represents a menu, group, or command. The GUID comes from the parent GuidSymbol element. The IDSymbol element has a name attribute that provides a friendly name for the ID, which is contained in the value attribute.

<IDSymbol name=ElementName value="0x0010" />  

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.
