Have a look at section 1.6.2 of doc/README.developer or look at epan/proto.h.  There are many functions of the form, “proto_tree_add_xxx_format()” that should enable you to display fields however you wish.

Hello all,

 

When I display a field, can I have it display as follows: "Name of Message (42)" instead of like this: "Message Value: Name of Message (42)? I have another tree that encompasses these fields and I have no need to describe the field any further.  I was think of just using a space but then I would have a random colon. In other words I want to just output the value_string. Appreciate any advice.

 

Thanks,

Martin
