VBA: applying styles to text range

Hello,

I want to apply a different character style to some characters of an artistic text in CorelDRAW 2024.

Following the help from here, and here I made the next script:

Sub Test3()
 Dim t As Text
 Dim s As Shape
 Dim s2 As Shape
 Dim st As Styles
 Dim d As Document
 Set d = CreateDocument
 Set s2 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(4, 6, "text for creating a style", , , "Arial", 36, cdrTrue)
 Set st = d.StyleSheet.CreateStyleFromShape(s2, "character", "Test style", True)
 Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(4, 5, "This is a test.")
 Set t = s.Text
 MsgBox "The text between characters 10 and 14 is: " & vbCr & t.Range(10, 14).Text
 t.Range(10, 14).Case = cdrAllCapsFontCase
 t.Range(10, 14).ApplyStyle "Test style"
End Sub

The last line with ApplyStyle doesn't do anything, the selected characters remains with the original formating.

Am I doing something wrong?

    I also couldn't solve it using the style properties, but I already needed to do that and I solved it as follows.

    Sub Test4()
    Dim s As Shape
    Dim h As Shape
    Dim d As Document
    Dim c As String
    Dim r As String
    Dim t As Integer

    Set d = ActiveDocument
    Set h = d.ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(4, 6, "text for creating a style", , , "Verdana", 36, cdrTrue)
    Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(4, 5, "This is a test on text.")

    c = "test"
    r = s.Text.Story.Text

    t = InStr(1, r, c, vbTextCompare)

    If t <> 0 Then
    With s.Text.Range(t - 1, t + Len(c) - 1)
    .Case = cdrAllCapsFontCase
    .Size = h.Text.Story.Size
    .Font = h.Text.Story.Font
    .Bold = h.Text.Story.Bold
    End With
    End If

    MsgBox "The word: '" & c & "' was found in the text: " & vbCr & r, vbInformation, s.Text.Story
    End Sub
