Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Stats_tree generalization

[Andy Howell <AndyHowell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

	I've just added support for "tap" and stats_tree in my dissector.  I 
would like to have a stats_tree-like display that includes my own 
columns. In particular, I want a summary of the number of bytes sent by 
each message type in my protocol.

I can see three options:

1) Modify the existing stats_tree code to handle a developer defined set 
of columns.

2) Copy the stat_tree code and hack away at the copy

3) Use the tap mechanism directly and write custom gui code.

The first option seems the most appealing in that I could contribute 
back the code. The second would probably be the fastest to develop.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

	Andy
