Get list of styles

@keith.sowinski thanks for sharing your code. @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1 This is very interesting for me as I’m only familiar with .NET API, for those interested here’s the Python accessing the COM API. Is there a reason as to why certain objects are only exposed in COM API and not .NET?
