Equivalent of IsTextFrame() for "unassigned content" frames

Question

Hello,In my plugin, I use the following to determine if an object is a text frame or a graphic frame.Utils()->IsTextFrame(pageItemUIDRef) Utils()->IsGraphicFrame(pageItemUIDRef) Utils()->IsEmptyGraphicFrame(pageItemUIDRef)But I cannot find a corresponding function for frames with "unassigned content". The best I can do is to see if it is a spline object and, if so, what type, using the path geometry by calling the 2 functions below (error-handling code removed for the sake of clarity):InterfacePtr pathGeometry(itemUIDRef, UseDefaultIID(); pathType = Utils()->WhichKindOfPageItem(pathGeometry); Are frames with "unassigned content" actually splines ?Very best regards,Olivier

Maybe try to evaluate if it's a type of frame and if it's not then it's unassigned?

I'm not a scripter but trying to learn and I get there sometimes and other times my 30 line code can be replaced by a single line

So here I go with a lame attempt but maybe it will give you an idea

InterfacePtr<IPathGeometry> pathGeometry(pageItemUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
if (pathGeometry) {
    if (!Utils<IPageItemTypeUtils>()->IsTextFrame(pageItemUIDRef) &&
        !Utils<IPageItemTypeUtils>()->IsGraphicFrame(pageItemUIDRef) &&
        !Utils<IPageItemTypeUtils>()->IsEmptyGraphicFrame(pageItemUIDRef)) {
        
        InterfacePtr<IFrameType> frameType(pageItemUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
        if (frameType && frameType->GetFrameContentType() == IFrameType::kFrameTypeEmpty) {
            // This is an unassigned content frame
        }
    }
}
