PostMessage API, '.uno:StyleApply'

Hi there, is there any way to apply a page style using uno commands?

I am doing:

function post(msg) {
  window.frames[0].postMessage(JSON.stringify(msg), '*');
}

function changePageStyle(pageStyle) {
  post({'MessageId': 'Send_UNO_Command',
        'Values': {
          'Command': '.uno:StyleApply',
          'Args': {
            Arg0Name: {
              type: 'string',
              value: 'Template'
            },
            Arg0Value: {
              type: 'string',
              value: pageStyle
            },
            Arg1Name: {
              type: 'string',
              value: 'Family'
            },
            Arg1Value: {
              type: 'int', // also tried string, integer
              value: 8
            }
          }
        }
      });
}

function receiveMessage(event) {
	// Receive message from Iframe
	console.log('ReceiveMessage: ' + event.data);
	var msg = JSON.parse(event.data);
	if (!msg) {
    console.log('NO ReceiveMessage ');
	}
}

window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);

changePageStyle("TemplateLandscape")

… and nothing is happening - the event listener is not fired, no console error. This shows in the log:

kit-00254-00022 2023-10-31 23:21:50.483970 +0000 [ kitbroker_00e ] DBG #18: child_ws: recv [child-0b2 uno .uno:StyleApply {"Arg0Name":{"type":"string","value":"Template"},"Arg0Value":{"type":"string","value":"TemplateLandscape"},"Arg1Name":{"type":"string","value":"Family"},"Arg1Value":{"type":"int","value":8}} | kit/Kit.cpp:2527

I am making assumptions regarding what the uno command arguments should be based on the following working BASIC snippet:

dim args1(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "Template"
args1(0).Value = "Landscape"
args1(1).Name = "Family"
args1(1).Value = 8

dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:StyleApply", "", 0, args1())

Thanks
