I start Wireshark (don't open a file or anything).
My dissector's proto_reg_handoff routine is called.
In the code that runs only once I initialise a variable
static gboolean prefTick
to TRUE, and register the preference.
Before returning the variable is printed out and it is TRUE.
My dissector's proto_reg_handoff routine is called a second time (I have not
done anything in the Wireshark window yet).
Before returning the variable prefTick is printed out and it is FALSE.
In Wireshark I edit the preferences for my protocol, I can see my tick box
and it is unticked.
I tick the box and apply it.
My dissector's proto_reg_handoff routine is called
Before returning the variable prefTick is printed out and it is TRUE.
My question are;
1. Why is my proto_reg_handoff routine being called twice initially?
2. Why does the second call set my preference to FALSE?
3. How do I get the tick box to default to TRUE initially (which is what i
was trying to do) ?
It looks as though the code is working apart from not having the right
initial value.
TIA
Hal
