Hello everyone!
Friends I need to open a dialog window with a ckekbox, however, it is necessary to check if in the current document it has grids, if it is true, the chekbox has a true validation "cb1.value = true;". Serial possible? Thanks.

dlg = new Window("dialog"); 
cb1 = dlg.add("checkbox", undefined, undefined, {name: "cb1"}); 
cb1.text = "Checkbox"; 
cb1.value = false;
dlg.show();

      You will most likely need to use Action Manger javascript coded to get some action reference to check the toggle state of menu View>Show>Grid shortcut Ctrl+' I don't know how to code that. Perhaps R-bin will help.

       

      Once you know the toggle state you can toggle the state if you need to.

       

      function ToggleGrid() {
    var dialogMode = DialogModes.NO;
    var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var ref1 = new ActionReference();
    ref1.putEnumerated(app.charIDToTypeID('Mn  '), app.charIDToTypeID('MnIt'), app.charIDToTypeID('TgGr'));
    desc1.putReference(app.charIDToTypeID('null'), ref1);
    executeAction(app.charIDToTypeID('slct'), desc1, dialogMode);
};
