I don't test any of the following ideas but:
1- You can create your CustomiTool as a subclass of 'iimage'
(IDLitToolImage class) and initialize, or set, the TYPES keyword as you
need.
2- Get a reference to the system object (_IDLitSys_GetSustem() function)
and then use the oSsytem->CreateTool method to create a tool (instead by
the procedure way). I think you can pass the TYPES keyword as an extra
parameter.
Also, seeing your first old post, i think the problem when registering
the panel with ITREGISTER was that you don't indicate the TYPE keyword
and then your panel appears for all iTools.

I hope the same. For some strange reason iTools hasn't got so many
acceptation in the IDL world (perhaps because seems a bit slow or
perhaps because needs a hard period to learn it).
