As a follow-up... I explored building the graph_analysis modules
directly into my plugin. However, aside from references to some internal
GUI functions (which I can easily replace), clicking on one of the flows
in the dialog selects that frame in the capture... which requires access
to cfile...
I can make this work. However, the graph_analysis_*() functions are not
accessible under Windows (at least from a plugin) as they are not
exported from the wireshark executable - so I think I'm back to the same
problem.
Unless, of course, there is yet another hook that I've managed to
overloo
I missed that. I'll check it out. It seems (from a cursory look at the
code) that the retap happens upon selecting the menu item. Currently I
have a dialog that allows selection of all packets, or those currently
displayed. But splitting that into 2 menu items shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks -

That sounds like the job of retap_packets [1]. Does that not work for you?

And we currently use it (as noted below) to add menu items. For us, the
critical item is cfile, to allow re-tapping captures.
I suppose the email subject was misleading. Yes, more GUI functionality
would be wonderful. But cfile is really the issue for us (at least for now).

Actually, funnel.h implements some GUI functionality that can be used
by plugins.
More functionality can be added to it.
