Q: Access to state of Menu: View > Shows > Grid

[NaokiHada_Logitech]

Hi,

In short:
Is there data access available to state of state of Menu: View > Shows > Grid?

In details:
I’m trying to implement toggle action from device to change show/hide grid on document. In Photoshop UI, it is available Menu: View > Shows > Grid (ctrl+')
By localization issues, I’d like to avoid keyboard shortcut.

Menu command ID has verified by Alchemist plugin. But it is command for show or hide by the parameter. So I need to know the current state is showing or hidden.

Is there data available for reading somewhere?

I expect the answer will probably be the same as below.

How do you show/hide guides using uxp?

It should theoretically be possible to check this with getMenuCommandState. However, this method found by kbsanders seems more reliable. I actually tried it.

Hi @sttk3,

Thank you very much for the link. It seems working as expected.

Following is modified code to take commandID.
3504 is the grid show/hide.
It returns checked property from Photoshop UI.

async function myCommandState2(commandID) {
   var result;
   await require("photoshop").core.executeAsModal(async (executionControl, descriptor) => {
      result = await require('photoshop').action.batchPlay(
         [
            {
               _obj: 'uiInfo',
               _target: {
                 _ref: 'application',
                 _enum: 'ordinal',
                 _value: 'targetEnum',
               },
               command: 'getCommandEnabled',
               commandID: commandID,
             }
         ], 
         {}
      );
   });
   return result[0].result;
}
