Re: LUA set value for treeitem

["Maynard, Chris" <Christopher.Maynard () IGT com>]

Yes, you can set the value using myproperty_tree:set_text(somestring)

For example: myproperty_tree:set_text(string.format("myproperty: 0x%02X", someval))

See Section 11.7.1.4 of the Wireshark Developer's Guide[1].

Subject: [Wireshark-users] LUA set value for treeitem

Is there a way to set the value for a treeitem after the tree item has been created?

The problem:

I am writing a X.409 based decoder (similar ASN.1).

I have a property stored as an integer to decode.
I come up with a tree like:

n  Myproperty
o   X.409 Integer
?  Tag
?  Length
?  Value


The length of the value field is variable.

I have a protofield for all treeitems.
For my property I am currently using
pf_myproperty = ProtoField.uint8("myprop.myproperty ", "myproperty", base.HEX)

I create the myproperty treeitem first, then drill down and create the treeitems underneath it.
To prevent the protofield from decoding nonsense I am setting the value explicitly
  local myproperty_tree = tree:add(pf_myproperty, buffer(offset), 0)

After all the tree items are created I can set the length using myproperty_tree::set_len(len)

Is there a way I can set the value after creation?

I want to be able to filter on myproperty.
Something like myprop.myproperty==0xFF

I cannot find anything in
