Thanks to the patience and help of @Rahul_Rastogi, here's the correct answer.

 

ErrorCode AutoFlow(UIDRef pageItem, PMPoint attachPoint)
{
    ErrorCode result = kFailure;
    
    do{
        
        /// Page
        InterfacePtr<IPageList> pageList(DOCUMENT, UseDefaultIID());
        if(!pageList)
            break;
        UID UIDPage = pageList->GetNthPageUID(pageList->GetPageCount()-1);
        
        /// SpreadLayer
        InterfacePtr<IHierarchy> hierarchy(pageItem, UseDefaultIID());
        if(!hierarchy)
            break;
        UIDRef UIDRefspreadLayer(DATABASE, hierarchy->GetLayerUID());
        
        /// Fill PlaceGun
        if(Utils<Facade::IImportExportFacade>()->LoadPlaceGun(UIDList(pageItem), IPlaceGun::kAddToBack) != kSuccess)
            break;
        
        /// Autoflow Command
        InterfacePtr<ICommand> autoFlowCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kAutoFlowCmdBoss));
        InterfacePtr<IAutoFlowCmdData> autoFlowCmdData(autoFlowCmd, UseDefaultIID());
        autoFlowCmdData->Set(UIDPage, kInvalidUID, UIDRefspreadLayer, attachPoint, kFalse, kTrue);
        
        /// Execute the command
        result = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(autoFlowCmd);
        
    }while(false);
    
    return result;
}

    IAutoFlowCmdData->Set(UID page, UID frameList, UIDRef &parent....

     

    Are you passing the 2nd parameter correct - I hope you are not passing Frame's UID (boxUID) but instead passing the UID of kFrameListBoss.

     

    InterfacePtr<IGraphicFrameData> iGraphicFrameData(frameUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());

    InterfacePtr<IMultiColumnTextFrame> imcf(iGraphicFrameData->QueryMCTextFrame());

     

    UID frameListUID = imcf->GetFrameListUID();

     

    pass the above frameListUID.

    This requires investigation.

     

    I don't have the InDesign Debug build installed otherwise we need to know the following -

     

    From Debug build -

    1. Capture command kAutoFlowCmdBoss

    2. Do auto flow manually in InDesign and capture the command kAutoFlowCmdBoss

    3. Check the contents of the interface IAutoFlowCmdData, IAutoFlowOversetText, ICommand->GetItemList.

     

    Based on above findings we can then conclude what are the exact correct parameters the command is expecting.

     

     


    Thanks for reply @Rahul_Rastogi,

    I think this method is perfect and can save me a lot of time because, when command are not enogh documented, I usually fill interface and hope that it can works, how i'm doing now, and i ofted lose a lot of time doing this.

    If you could tell me how I can capture a command you would be doing me a really big favor because I don't have a clue how to do it, I think I should use InDesign Debug, right?
