Checking Menu Item states from tcl script

HH202501061832

Hello, 

I'm writing a script that will run a bunch of commands at startup, including setting some user-defined hotkeys and setting up some menu item state to a default value, 

Say I'm trying to set "Grid References" to the "unchecked" state at startup. How can i do that in tcl? 
I can toggle it by using: Menu "View::Grid References"

 But with that, i can't force it to be unchecked, i can just toggle it,

Is there a way for me to check the state of the menu item before applying the toggle event? 

It might be something simple such as a command that i missed, i'm not super familiar with the command structure here, just trying out a few things to learn them. 

Thank you
