Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] [Patch] additional lua dissector preference types

From: "Balint Reczey (IJ/ETH)" <Balint.Reczey@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 13:28:50 +0200
Hi,

The attached patch adds ability of of creating radio button, drop-down
list and range type preference entries to the Lua plugin.
It also fixes a lua compile warning/error in wslua_gui.c.
The patch is written by Tamas Regos, he asked me to send it to the list.
Could someone commit it to the svn repo?

Cheers,
Balint
