Add custom option to toolbar in wireshark GUI

edit

Assuming I understand your question, this should not be too difficult. Here you go:

In your plugin Lua file (which you should make sure Wireshark loads), start by adding a function which does the job your plugin should do:

local function runPlugin()
    --here your plugin does its thing
end

Then you register the runPlugin function to be launched from the Wireshark toolbar:

register_menu("Lua/Launch my plugin", launhing_function, MENU_TOOLS_UNSORTED);

Now when you open Wireshark and click on Tools > Lua > Launch my plugin the runPlugin() function is called.

Hope this helps!

There's currently no mechanism to allow plugins to register toolbar icons; at best, you can, as noted, register items to be available in a menu item.
