Re: [Wireshark-dev] Problem with uint preference

2007-01-31 Thread Hal Lander 

Hi Jeff,

That did the trick :-)

I had seen the defines for the various bases so when the function asked for 
a base I just plugged BASE_DEC in. The old documentation did misslead me but 
I could kick myself for not plugging in the obvious 10 !


Thanks for clearing that up.
Hal

The 'base' field in 'prefs_register_uint_preference()' is the base used
by 'strtoul()' when converting the string 123 into an unsigned
integer.  Don't use BASE_DEC (whose value is 1) here but rather 0 or 10
if you want to input a decimal number.

I just checked in a change to README.developer to explain what this
parameter should be.

[Wireshark-dev] Problem with uint preference

2007-01-30 Thread Hal Lander 

I registered a boolean preference and it worked.
However, when I try and follow the same process with a uint it fails when I 
try and edit the preference and 'apply' the change. The message I get is;


The value for xxTitle isn't a valid number.

If I comment out the call to prefs_register_uint_preference then registering 
the boolean works.
To use the boolean I did not need to modify the preferences file by hand, 
the section for foo.tick appears by itself. I did try editing the 
preferences file by hand to add in the problem variable but that did not 
help.



The code I am using is given below, along with the edit I tried on 
preferences.


Should I be editing the preferences file by hand to add in the variable.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

# xxDescription
# A decimal number.
foo.xx: 99

static gboolean prefTick;
static guint prefVer;

   prefTick=TRUE;
   prefVer=123;
   
prefs_register_bool_preference(foo_module,tick,TickTitle,TickDescription,prefTick);
   
prefs_register_uint_preference(foo_module,xx,xxTitle,xxDescription,BASE_DEC,prefVer);


TIA
Hal

P.S. Sometimes when I open the dialog box to edit the preference there is 
garbage in the uint field
