Is there any way to find the command-id for scripting?

Hello.

 

app.executeCommand(command-id number);

I'm using the code above.

 

Is there any way to find the command-id number value of the following function?


1. Show only selected properties and groups (Functions that you can press the 'ss' key)
2. Characer Panel - Faux Bold / Faux Italic

 

I used a translator because I couldn't speak English, but I would appreciate it if you could understand the meaning and reply

As far as I know, app.executeCommand can only execute menu entries of Ae's main menu. You can find IDs for those with

app.findMenuCommandId(exactNameOfCommandInMenuGoesHere)

 

If you want to do more experiments to find workarounds: BtnHook found a way to execute buttons of other scripts in Ae. Maybe (but really not sure) there is a similar way to do it for other panels?

Thank you for your answer.

I realized that the above functions are on the animator tab.
I will study the script that you told me. Thank you.
