Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Custom item not related to the packet

You misunderstood. pt must contain the bytes you want to be inside the subset. It seems, that you collect different bytes for this array as you select for your hf_item selection which is then highlighted in the packet-view

kind regard

Hello pt is an array (uint8_t pt[16];).
pt is an array generated after processing a part of the packet.
As I've created a new tvb the offset is 0 and the length is 16.

Hope I've answered your questions.

The data displayed in the subitem is the one from pt, your data variable which you used to create the new tvb. The hf_item seems to point to a different data structure. How is pt being generated? Are you using the same length and start offset as for the hf item?

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to add a custom item which is not strictly related to the packet but it is coming from a processing of a part of the packet.
I've used the following instructions:

                new_tvb = tvb_new_child_real_data(tvb, pt, (guint)16, 16);
                add_new_data_source(pinfo, new_tvb, "processed");

                ti = proto_tree_add_item(data_tree, hf_mp_control_processed, new_tvb, 0, 16, ENC_NA);
                PROTO_ITEM_SET_GENERATED(ti);

hf_mp_control_processed is a set of bytes: 
        { & hf_mp_control_processed ,
          { "mp control processed", "mp.control.processed",
            FT_BYTES, BASE_NONE, 0x0, 0x0,
            NULL, HFILL }
        }

The problem is that when I click on this new item into the Packet Details I see the correct byte values, while in the Packet Bytes view these ones are totally wrong.

For example the first byte is 0x48 but 0x68 is shown in the Packet Bytes view.

Is there a different way to perform this operation ?

Thanks in advance
