    hello everyone,

    this code will get me the items that are checked from the window menu:

    let menuItems = sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem("Window").popupMenuFetchAllItems().menuItems
let menuEnabled = menuItems.filter(x => x.element.isMenuChecked) 
sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow()
log(menuEnabled)

    I'll get the ones with a √, how do I filter the ones with "-"?
    In this example, Video and Color Palette?

    Thank you so much

        @Kitch came up with this gem:

        sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

const menuItems = sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Window').popupMenuFetchAllItems({
    dismissMenu: true,
}).menuItems;

const menuItemsInfo = menuItems.map(mi => ({
    path: mi.path,
    element: mi.element,
    isSelected: mi.element.isMenuChecked,
    hasDash: mi.element.getString('AXMenuItemMarkChar') === ('-'),
}));

let dashedMenuItems = menuItemsInfo.filter(mi => mi.hasDash);

log(dashedMenuItems);

            right on!! Thank you so much @Dustin_Harris and @Kitch,

            this i what i'm working on, It gets the enabled and disabled items from pro tools menus to an array of paths and you can set them back to original state later.
