Call Window Tool via API

If the user clicks the Window Tool, then a preview of the last selected library part is shown and the element can be inserted with a click. How can I achieve this via the API by code?

Hi, you can use ACAPI_Toolbox_SetToolBoxMode() command to force the Window tool to active, please check the Examples code Do_SetToolBoxMode () in Element_snippets.cpp.

HTH.
