The approach with dispatcher did not work. But after some days and 
several failed attempts I found a solution to create the default measure 
line:

    ScTabViewShell* pTabViewShell = pDocSh->GetBestViewShell(false);
    SfxRequest aReq(pTabViewShell->GetViewFrame(), SID_DRAW_MEASURELINE);
    aReq.SetModifier(8192); // Ctrl
    pTabViewShell->ExecDraw(aReq);

I had seen the magic number "8192" in uitest 
sw/qa/uitest/writer_tests7/tdf130629.py and in Visual Studio. There 
might be a "speaking" define, I don't know.

The shape is inserted and selected, so that you can manipulate it, 
changing the anchor for example. When you want to work on the sheet 
itself, hiding a column for example, you have to deactivate draw shell. 
That can be done with
    pTabViewShell->SetDrawShell(false);

Kind regards
