Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Disectors & conversations

["Cook, Timothy" <tcook@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the info.

I have yet another question.

Using the routine proto_tree_add_item() to add a signed value to the
Protocol tree displays the value in HEX (as expected) & a decimal value
in parens.  How can I prevent the decimal value from being displayed?
