How to Insert a Rectangle Frame Tool Inside a Text Frame in InDesign

[ashwin_0502]

Hi sir
I was trying to insert a rectangle frame tool inside a text frame using this code 

const selectedTextFrame = doc.selection[0];

const page = selectedTextFrame.parentPage;

const rect = page.rectangles.add({

geometricBounds: [0, 0, 100, 100],

});

This code creates the rectangle, but it does not place it inside the text frame

That's because you place it on the page, not in the frame. You should then move the rectangle into the frame (it's not possible to place a rectangle into a text frame directly). Add this to your script:

rect.anchoredObjectSettings.insertAnchoredObject (
  selectedTextFrame.insertionPoints[0],
  AnchorPosition.INLINE_POSITION
)
