Can I create Paint Effect brush strokes from code?

Hi,

 

Long time reader, first time poster.

 

Will the SDK enable me to draw "Paint Effect" brush strokes from path data with per-vertex pressure information? 

 

I have been using ExtendScript to copy-and-paste the Path property from a paint stroke to a temporary Mask to access the shape data (ie. number of vertices and vertex positions), and while it is possible to paste an altered path back to the stroke, I would really like to be able to create brush strokes directly from code.  I have reached the limit of Extendscript, as the "Path" property is labeled a Custom Value Type.

 

I have read through the SDK, but couldn't find anything definitive.  It's going to be a big learning curve from ExtendScript to C++ and I'm just looking for a nod of "it's possible, go for it!" before diving in.

 

TIA.
