How about using val_to_str() in combination with an appropriate
proto_tree_add_xyz_format() function? Something like:
static const value_string msg_vals[] = {
{42, "Name of Message (42)"},
{0, NULL}
};
msgval = tvb_get_xyz(tvb, offset);
proto_tree_add_uint_format(tree, hf_proto_msg, tvb, offset, len, msgval,
"%s", val_to_str(msgval, msg_vals, "Unknown %d"));

Thanks Chris but I can't get the value_string to be outputted. Is there
a way to tell the proto_tree_add_xxx_format()function to just output the
value_string and nothing else?
Thanks,
Martin

Have a look at section 1.6.2 of doc/README.developer or look at
epan/proto.h. There are many functions of the form,
"proto_tree_add_xxx_format()" that should enable you to display fields
however you wish.

Hello all,
When I display a field, can I have it display as follows: "Name of
Message (42)" instead of like this: "Message Value: Name of Message
(42)? I have another tree that encompasses these fields and I have no
need to describe the field any further. I was think of just using a
space but then I would have a random colon. In other words I want to
just output the value_string. Appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Martin
