Getting snap status

Question

I can toggle Photoshop's snap on and off with a script (View menu > Snap): if (documents.length >0 )app.runMenuItem (stringIDToTypeID("snap"));
else alert("No documents, no snap."); I've tried assigning a variable to runMenuItem but is undefined. How do I get the (boolean) state of  the snap? ie alert(snapStatus); // true

This code is simplified and works 100% in PS2020.

It doesn't check menus by name, but uses fixed indexes. For other versions, a different sequence in the menu is possible. In this case, a more complex and universal code is needed.

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("menuBarInfo"));
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("application"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));

var view_submenus = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("menuBarInfo")).getList(stringIDToTypeID("submenu")).getObjectValue(9).getList(stringIDToTypeID("submenu"));  

var snap = !view_submenus.getObjectValue(20).getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("checked"));

alert("Snap="+snap);
