How do I enable text wrapping and set non-printing?

Couldn't find any examples.

Looked through the developer documentation, but I don't know how to use it.

Is this correct? It doesn't seem to work. It also shows a syntax error for nonprinting.

objectStyle.textWrapPreferences.properties = {
nonprinting: true,
}

It seems to be this:
objectStyle.nonprinting = true;

There is no nonprinting property is objectStyle.textWrapPreferences

You can set in on a pageItem:

If you do a search for nonprinting in the API docs, you’ll get a list of objects that have the nonprinting property:

Hi rob day.

I need to add nonprinting to the object style.
I don't know how to add it to pageItem.

The following works:
objectStyle.nonprinting = true;

I don't know how to add it to pageItem.

For a pageItem it would be (nonprinting page items are hidden when Overprint/Separation Preview is turned on):

var pi = app.documents[0].selection[0]
pi.nonprinting = true
$.writeln(pi)
//returns the selected object

This is a Japanese site, but

Found this switch, but couldn't locate the non-printing setting.
