They are also defined in some hrc or hxx files somewhere. > Could you please give me a simple example to illustrate the relationship > between "module", "item", "whichId" and "SlotId"? "Modules" here means the application module. While slotids mark a functionality in the UI, whichids mark the corresponding attribute in the document core of the application. As an example, we have a slotid that can be used to change the font size of a text, SID_ATTR_FONT_SIZE. The id has a numerical value that is defined in svx.hrc. When an item with that slotid is passed to a SfxDispatcher call to one of our documents, its ID is converted to the matching whichid that the attribute "font size" has in the "document pool". > >>>From Niklas' explanation, I sense each module have a range of WhichIDs. > What does "module" means here?

Does it define the > same SlotID for different WhichID in different modules? The slotid is a universal ID, it is understood in all modules. In the code of each application module there is a conversion table that converts the slot ids into the matching whichids. Usually you don't need to care for the exact values, you just should be aware of this fact.
