is it possible to make changes to the GUI through the dissector Code

The only GUI changes that can be made from a dissector are changes to
the preferences GUI - and that's done by registering preferences,
which show up in the GUI; general changes to the GUI cannot be made
from a dissector.
i mean , does Wireshark expose a GUI API ?
Some amount of GUI is exposed through the Lua interpreter in versions
of Wireshark that have the Lua interpreter built in.
i dont what to make the changes in the source code and compile
wireshark .
Does wire shark enable developers to add "GUI plugins " of some sort ?
You could make a "tap" plugin, for example, for statistics.
What do you want the button to do?
