SetActiveTool: name of rectangle identify?

I want to set the rectangle identify as the active tool using a workflow (RunExternalCommand > "SetActiveTool").  I am not sure what the name of this tool is for the SetActiveTool command.  Is it "RectangleIdentify," "IdentifyRectangle," something else?

 

Thanks for any help

  It is only "Rectangle" but if I remember correctly, you need to activate "Identify" first using either "EnableAllLayersForeIdentify" or "EnableLayerForIdentify" but it takes a LayerDescriptor argument.

  Thanks Tom, but I figured it out and it is simpler than you think...the tool name is the "RectangleIdentifyTool."  That will get the job done with the SetActiveTool external command.

  Slightly related: I came here because I was trying to find out what the command is for the measure distance tool.  Similarly it is "MeasureDistanceTool".  Set up the same way, where Command="SetActiveTool" and CommandParameter ="MeasureDistanceTool".  Just in case anyone else stumbles across this looking for the same thing!

   

  Is there a list of the possible Command Parameters like this somewhere?

  It seems we can find most Tool IDs in the Desktop.json.js file of a viewer (after adding all the tools to viewer toolbar)
