Is the Object Style Catalog accessible via the Extendscript API?

Need to get the list available styles and apply some to certain objects within the document based on user's selections.

Thanks in advance!

Hi fonrig,

you have to look for "GraphicsFmt"

var oDoc =  app.ActiveDoc;
var oFormat = oDoc.FirstGraphicsFmtInDoc;     
 while (oFormat.ObjectValid())
        {
        $.writeln(oFormat.StyleTag;)     //StyleTag BUT NOT "NAME"
         
        
        oFormat = oFormat.NextGraphicsFmtInDoc;
        }

You can find all properties in 2019 FrameMaker Scripting guide on page 516

Thanks @KlausGobel,

Of course you need an open/active document that contains object styles
