I think you want to define a tool as:

   Program:    simpdftex
   Arguments:  latex
               --extratexopts
               -synctex=1
               $fullname

in order to pass the synctex setting to the tex program.

(Don't worry about the symbolic $synctexoption version of this; you  
can simply pass the literal argument you need. The predefined tools do  
it in a roundabout way for obscure MikTeX compatibility reasons, but  
that doesn't affect you here.)
