How to get and set an object style to page item

Question

Hi everyone,I was autoflowing an overset page item programmatically, but noticed that autoflowing doesn't apply the ObjectStyle of the overset page item.So I thought I'd iterate through all the boxes created by AutoFlow and give them an object name and style.On the name no problem, but as regards the object style I have some problems.I have no idea how to get and how to give a box an object style. I've tried something like this, but was unsuccessful.InterfacePtr applyObjectStyleCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kApplyObjectStyleCmdBoss)); if(!applyObjectStyleCmd) break; applyObjectStyleCmd->SetItemList(listOfPageItemToApplyObjectStyle); InterfacePtr UIDData(applyObjectStyleCmd, UseDefaultIID()); if(!UIDData) break; UIDData->Set(DATABASE, UIDStyle); if(CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(applyObjectStyleCmd) != kSuccess) break;listOfPageItemToApplyObjectStyle --> rapresent all the page item created by autoflowUIDStyle --> rapresent the style that i want to appy to boxes, I set it simply by looking for it by name, but I would like the page item to be overset Stefano

This is my solution:

/// GET Object Style from pageItemA and SET to pageItemB
ErrorCode function(UIDRef pageItem_A, UIDRef pageItem_B)
{
    ErrorCode result = kFailure;
    
    do
    {
        // ----- GET OBJECT STYLE -----
        InterfacePtr<IGraphicFrameData> graphicFrameData_A(pageItem_A, UseDefaultIID());
        if(!graphicFrameData_A)
            break;
        
        /// UIDStyle Of pageItemA
        InterfacePtr<IPersistUIDData> persistUIDData(graphicFrameData_A, IID_IPERSISTOBJECTSTYLEDATA);
        if(!persistUIDData)
            break;
        
        UID UIDStyle = persistUIDData->GetUID();
        if(UIDStyle == kInvalidUID)
            break;
        
        
        
        // ----- SET OBJECT STYLE -----
        InterfacePtr<IGraphicFrameData> graphicFrameData_B(pageItem_B, UseDefaultIID());
        if(!graphicFrameData_B)
            break;
        
        /// UIDListOfPageItemToApplyObjStyle: List fill of UID of PageItem belonging to kSplineItemBoss, otherwise ApplyObjectStyleToUIDList don't apply the ObjectStyle
        UIDList UIDListOfPageItemToApplyObjStyle;
        UIDListOfPageItemToApplyObjStyle.push_back(GetUID(graphicFrameData_B));
        
        /// I haven't clue of how use categoriesToOverride, so i left it empty and it works anyway
        K2Vector<ClassID> categoriesToOverride;
        categoriesToOverride.push_back(kInvalidClass);
        result = Utils<Facade::IObjectStylesFacade>()->ApplyObjectStyleToUIDList(UIDListOfPageItemToApplyObjStyle, CONTEXT->GetContextWorkspace(), UIDStyle, categoriesToOverride, false);
        
    }while(false);
    
    return result;
}
