How to execute a menu command

[Adobe_847298]

How do I execute a menu command in InDesign? I do it like this in Illustrator.

app.executeMenuCommand("showAll");

I want to execute the "Object > Hide" and "Object > Show all on Spread".

You can use the following code snippet to invoke the menu

var showMenuItem = app.menus.itemByName("$ID/Main").submenus.itemByName("$ID/Object").menuItems.itemByName("$ID/Show All on Spread");
if(showMenuItem.enabled) 
    showMenuItem.associatedMenuAction.invoke();
var hideMenuItem = app.menus.itemByName("$ID/Main").submenus.itemByName("$ID/Object").menuItems.itemByName("$ID/Hide");
if(hideMenuItem.enabled) 
   hideMenuItem.associatedMenuAction.invoke();
