Hi,
i have looked at those and it doesnt seem to be what i'm looking for. I want to do something such as
proto_tree_add_text(tree, "TEST", tvb, 0, 0, function_call_that_returns_"TEST"() );
so that in the tree it will output something like TEST: TEST. 
however, the first "TEST" is supposed to be an int, but i do not know how to get around not using a static const value_string.
Unless i have missed a function that you would like to point out that makes that easy. 
Thanks, 
Greg

Hi,
If you look at the other proto_tree_add.... functions you will probably find one which suits your needs.
Thanx,

I want to be able to include my own string for output that isn't in a static const value_string. I will be return data from a function from a loaded dll. And just something like:
