Hello,

Is there a way to capitalise hex output in the field output like we can with the string formatter "0x%04X"?

I'm using that to add the details to the INFO column but not sure how to get similar formatting in the dissected fields:

PACKED_SIM_GROUP_M3UA_S (0xCFDC) from IPDU-3 to GISU-7 via EMB-0

For example, I have the field is being output like below:

DMX message number: PACKED_SIM_GROUP_M3UA_S (0xcfdc)

But I'd prefer to have the hex number printed as 0xCFDC (just makes it simpler for us to see the message number).

I am poking around the source for proto_tree_add_item to pin down where the actual hex digit printing occurs ... haven't figured it out yet.

In my dissector I'm doing this:

            static const value_string dmxMessageNumber[] = {
            ...
                { 0xCFDC, "PACKED_SIM_GROUP_M3UA_S" },
            ...
            };

             proto_tree_add_item(dmx_tree, hf_emb_msg_header_t_number, tvb, 
                                 offset, 2, ENC_LITTLE_ENDIAN);
        ...

            { &hf_emb_msg_header_t_number,
               {"DMX message number", "emb.dmx.number",
                   FT_UINT16, BASE_HEX, VALS(dmxMessageNumber), 
                   0x0, "DX message number (message_number_t)", HFILL}},

Thanks, Brett.
