CS4: Get all UID of pages who contains a page item

Hi

How can I get all UID of page, which contains a page item with a specified UID?

E.g.: I like to have both UID of pages if a page item is place on two pages.

Thanks

Hans

Jongware probably mixes the problem up with page items on master spreads.

I think you're talking about page items that possibly span multiple pages of a spread.

ILayoutUtils::GetOwnerPageUID is a good start.

If you need more details, iterate the pages of your spread and match their bounding box to the page item's bounding box.

Is that even possible? I would think all copies get a fresh UID ...
