1) I looked read the article on microsoft's page where icons are described but I couldn't find the icon "Play Button with vertical lines" (it is accentuated with a red line in the image below). What does it mean?

Babel Icon - Intellisense Icons

2) Further more the purple Cube has according to the provided link two meanings:

  • Method or Function
  • External Declaration

So isn't that confusing?

  • Confusing, maybe, an external declaration in C# is a method declaration with a P/Invoke attribute on top of it. For the purpose of calling conventions etc, it's just a Method or Function depending on how you look at it. – jessehouwing May 06 '14 at 07:37

It seems to be a "Group Macro" glyph:

  • So i am using C++ and OpenGl library, so what could be the meaning of "GlyphGroupMacro" is this defined by the Programmer? I thought that this icons are appearing autoamtically? – user1767754 May 06 '14 at 07:48
  • It is a constant value defined by a macro or preprocessor directive:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3216752/what-is-the-difference-between-macro-constants-and-constant-variables-in-c – jessehouwing May 06 '14 at 11:12
  • The screen shot is from the Visual Studio see and lists all the icons that ship with intellisense out of the box from the perspective of a developer of a component inside Visual Studio. As such it's one of the most complete sources of icons and their meaning :). – jessehouwing May 06 '14 at 12:02
