I've just added support for "tap" and stats_tree in my

of bytes sent by each message type in my protocol.
I can see three options:
1) Modify the existing stats_tree code to handle a developer defined
set of columns.
This is probably the best method to start an attempt at, hpoefully
without requiring changes to the existing dissectors that use the
stats tree API.
Steve,
Having studied the code some more, this looks reasonable. My plan is to
leave the existing interface intact, and add a new extended
stats_tree_register_ex that takes an array of column names and a
callback function to write column data to a buffer for use by the
underlying gtk and tshark presentation code.
Thanks,
Andy
