Is there a way to open the tool options panel in a script (the one from the menu under Window > Options).

I figure this would probably need done using app.runMenuItem (stringIDToTypeID ("AddStringHere"));. I've been looking throught the string terminologies in the SDK files. However, I can't seem to figure out if there is a string to command opening the options panel.

app.runMenuItem(charIDToTypeID('TglO'));

Thanks SuperMerlin. I now see that in the in the PITerminology.h document from the SDK. One question though......

Is there a way to see if it is already opened? That command toggles it which either opens or closes it depending on if the user has it already opened. I want the script to open it if is not already opened but not close it if it is already opened.

Can't find a way of seeing if the panel is opened, maybe someone will show us how?
