InDesign COM not supported?

[tevert]

Running as user seems to be the trick--partially. (._getactive does not work but ._create does--when running as user).

The following code runs without error--yay, partial success! But, it also does nothing. (It should delete selected text.)

Code:

IDispatch oidApp._create("InDesign.Application")
IDispatch oidDoc=oidApp.ActiveDocument
out oidApp.Selection.Count
oidApp.Selection[0].Delete

Interestingly it does output the correct count of currently selected items, but does not delete them.

Here's working VB code:

Code:

Dim oidApp As New InDesign.Application
  
  Dim oidDoc As InDesign.Document
  Set oidDoc = oidApp.ActiveDocument
  
  oidApp.Selection(1).Delete
