Hi,

isn't it possible to create a SHADERLINK resource dynamically within GetDDescription()? I can't find an appropriate DTYPE.

Maybe there is a way to build it from scratch?

I need to create a variable set of shaderlinks within my channel shader.

thx

Can't understand why CUSTOMGUI_TEXBOX isn't listed in docs under DESC_Items/DESC_CUSTOMGUI:

LONG DESC_CUSTOMGUI
The ID of the GUI for this element. Either a custom ID or one of:

CUSTOMGUI_REAL Real edit field.
CUSTOMGUI_REALSLIDER Real edit field with slider.
CUSTOMGUI_REALSLIDERONLY Real slider only.
CUSTOMGUI_VECTOR Vector.
CUSTOMGUI_STRING String field.
CUSTOMGUI_STRINGMULTI Multiple line string field.
CUSTOMGUI_STATICTEXT Static text field.
CUSTOMGUI_LONG Long edit field.
CUSTOMGUI_LONGSLIDER Long edit field with slider.
CUSTOMGUI_BOOL Checkbox.
CUSTOMGUI_TIME Time edit field.
CUSTOMGUI_COLOR Color chooser.
CUSTOMGUI_MATRIX Matrix edit fields.
CUSTOMGUI_BUTTON Button.

Because the documentation is by no means complete nor bug free. Thanks for pointing it out. I will fix this for the next update.

cheers,
