Dear engineers!

Is it possible to programmatically set the following tools: 'Pointer', 'Values/Crosshair' and 'Hand'?
UseTool::DrawingType enumerates only drawing tools.
I can't find a solution.

Thank you!

This will be out in the next release:
int32_t(SCDLLCALL* SetActiveDrawingTool)(int32_t ChartNumber, DrawingTypeEnum DrawingType, int32_t AllowChangeOfToolInOtherCharts);

We have added drawing types for Chart Values and the Hand Tools.
