Hi Togehter,

For example, i get a frame of 4 hex values. 2 hex values belongs to the master and 2 to the device. I want to create a Tree "DATA" and if i open the tree i want to see a "Master" and a "Device" Tree and if i open them, i want to see the hex values and some definitions from a text. I didn't find an answer to my question online. I hope you can help.

Thx and best regards

rob

Look at README.dissector, section 1,5.2 for the proto_item_add_subtree() method.

If you haven't looked at README.dissector before, you're missing out on a lot of excellent info about writing dissectors.

There are also many examples in the source code of other dissectors.

Thank you very much grahamb! I figured it out with the help of the readme. I think i just didnt read well enough last time or i am just too unexperienced but now it works as i want.

Do you maybe know how or if i can save a hex value from for example frame #1 and add it to frame #2?

thx ahead

rob

A dissector is usually just concerned with dissecting the data in the current frame. To use data from other frames you'll have to look into conversations, discussed in section 2.2 of the same document.

@Jaap Yes sorry, won't do it again :)
