Hi

Yes u can query and you can modify also..

CODE  
//now you got the current Type  
&nbsp;&nbsp;//1-9 you can get it  
int $item = `optionMenuGrp -q -sl extMenu`;

//now you can set if you want   
setMayaSoftwareFrameExt($item , 0);

//you can use 1-9 here insted of $item

enjoy

Try this man

CODE  
unifiedRenderGlobalsWindow;  
int $item = `optionMenuGrp -q -sl extMenu`;  
setMayaSoftwareFrameExt($item , 0);  
window -e -vis 0 unifiedRenderGlobalsWindow;
