Hi,
are there other types of plugins than "dissector" and "tap"?
Especially, is it possible to write a plugin on Windows (.dll) that
extends the Wireshark GUI with additional functionality?

README.plugins seems to be about dissector plugins only and stats_tree
(the only default "tap" plugin) doesn't seem to have GUI code either.
I wonder because some colleagues of mine have manage to code a GUI
extension under Linux and it works by simply putting the compiled .so
library with the wireshark executables without touching the code of
Wireshark. But i think that's not possible on Windows, unless the DLL is
explicitly linked/loaded from within Wireshark code? Do you confirm?

My plan was to use a plugin for
- adding support for decoding G.729 in the VoIP calls player.
- adding VoIP Calls analysis for a proprietary protocol.

regards,
Lars
