I want to show subchannels "like in coordinate interface for any object" , so if I have 3 vectors they appear in 3 columns instead of 3 rows.

Hi Mohamed,
To place description parameters in columns use LAYOUTGROUP flag followed by the number of columns in the current GROUP. See Obase description resource file to understand how "Coordinates" group is built for objects.
If you need to do that dynamically set DESC_LAYOUTGROUP and DESC_COLUMNS in the description container for the added group.
Also if it's not the case you'd have to set CUSTOMGUI_SUBDESCRIPTION for DESC_CUSTOMGUI in the description container for the added parameters so that the vectors component are shown in line layout.

thanks Yannick. I think I missed CUSTOMGUI_SUBDSCRIPTION when I was reading the header!! "shame on me"

when I did this
bc.SetInt32(DESC_CUSTOMGUI, CUSTOMGUI_SUBDESCRIPTION);
it works, but when I change any value of x or y or z, all 3 change, any idea what causes this?

How is the parameter declared? In the resource file or dynamically in GetDDescription()?
Please provide the resource file or GetDDescription() definition/declaration.
