I launch Gazebo using a launch file in ros2 humble, but then the Gazebo window opens in the graphical tool window rather than in the simulation window.  
Unsure off what the error can be but want it to launch in the Simulation window rather.

Hi,  
I imagine that you are launching in a ROSject, in which case Gazebo will launch in the graphical tools. Only when we set up the simulation to be launched will they appear in the simulation window ( like in the courses).  
If you give more information, we might be able to help you a bit more

Thank you for the response.  
Yes It is in one of my personal rosject and I am using Gazebo Sim version.  
Is there a possibility to in a rosject launch it in the gazebo window?

It should open in the Simulation window (Simulation app), but it would look like the Graphical Tools window because they use the same technology.

Rosjects run on `gzclient` which opens in a graphical-tools-like window. Course run on `gzweb` or our new web-based simulator (you can select one of these simulations when creating your rosject).
