I'm trying to add shaderlink fields to a description in GetDDescription. I've tried to add a DTYPE_BASELINKLIST and set DESC_SHADERLINKFLAG to TRUE, but it shows up as a standard link box, not a SHADERLINK.

Any ideas or hints would be most appreciated.

Since this was the only topic I could find that described my excact problem, I thought I'd post the solution
I found, here (10 years later, lol). You have to set the custom GUI to CUSTOMGUI_TEXBOX.

#include <customgui_texbox.h>
  
//...
bc->SetBool(DESC_CUSTOMGUI, CUSTOMGUI_TEXBOX);
bc->SetBool(DESC_SHADERLINKFLAG, true);

Thanks to Remo in this thread.
