VBscript-Indesign CS4

I am trying to display the ID of a selected object, but I don't know
what I'm doing, this is what i have:

Function main()
	Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS4")
	myInDesign.Activate
	If myInDesign.Documents.Count <> 0 Then
		If myInDesign.Selection.Count <> 0 Then
			Set ObjID = InDesign.Selection.Pageitems.ID
			MsgBox (ObjID & "Test")

		Else
			MsgBox ("Please select an object and try again.")
		End If
	Else
		MsgBox ("Please open a document, select an object, and try again.")
	End If
End function
