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.

    ok, then it seems kAutoFlowCmdBoss is the correct command.

     

    You need to now check with my point no. 2.


    Sorry but i have no idea of how to do an observer, do you have advice or some example from which I can take inspiration.
