Thanks Once again.
Actually I want to get the registry path where the .exe of Acrobat reader is.
So that I can pass the command line arguments to it ...........
Because to open a PDF with sppecific book mark I need the exe path and by command line argument I will pass the page number to it.
Like wise we do in Delphi
HelpFilePath : String;
DoesFileexists : Boolean;
CommandLine : String;
ExePath : String;
IsAcroExeLocated : Integer;
ButtonSelected : Boolean;
AcroVersion : String;
//Extracting Acrobat executable file path from Registry
// replace the double quotes and %1 from the string
ExePath := AnsiReplaceStr(GetRegistryValue('\AcroExch.Document\Shell\Open\Command'),'"','');
ExePath := AnsiReplaceStr(ExePath,'%1','');
// creating the help file path from WaterNET.exe path and file name
helpfilepath := extractfilepath(application.exename) + 'help\WaterNET_user_manual.pdf';
DoesFileexists := False;
DoesFileexists := Fileexists(ExePath);
if DoesFileexists then
begin
{ Display Alert message that Adobe Reader 5.0 Required }
//GetVersion finds the version information using the file properties
AcroVersion := GetVersion(ExePath);
if StrToIntDef(AcroVersion,0) < 6 then
begin
MessageBox(Application.Handle,
pchar(#13 + 'Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader version6.0 (or newer) is required.'),
pchar('Adobe Reader Version'),
mb_OK + mb_ICONWARNING + MB_APPLMODAL);
exit;
end; //if StrToIntDef(AcroVersion,0)
// Checking that specified file is existing
if Not FileExists(HelpFilePath) then
begin
MessageDlg(MSG_HELP_FILE_NOT_EXIST, mtWarning, [mbOK], 0);
Exit;
end;
// set command line parameters based from where the help file is opened
case BookmarkConstant of
WNET_HELP_USER_MANNUAL :
// when user clicks on help->user mannual
begin
// '/s' used for silently opening the acrobat reader instead of the splash screen
CommandLine := ('/s /n /A page=1 "'+ helpfilepath +'"');
end;
help_WaterNET :
// when user clicks help-> WaterNET Help or press F1
begin
// '/n' used for openning the file in same opened acrobat reader
CommandLine := ('/s /n /A zoom="100"&page=1&pagemode=bookmarks "'+ helpfilepath +'"');
end;
else
// when user click help button on a dialog
begin
// using '/A' all the parameters consider as a string
CommandLine := ('/s /n /A page='+ inttostr(BookmarkConstant) + '&View=FitBV "'+ helpfilepath +'"');
end;
end;
IsAcroExeLocated := 0;
//executing the Acrobat.exe with command line parameters
IsAcroExeLocated := ShellExecute(0, {Forms handle}
'open', {Operation}
PAnsiChar(ExePath), {EXE name with path}
PAnsiChar(CommandLine), {Commandline parameters}
nil, {Working directory}
SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED); {show
state}
end;
// checking if Acrobat reader is not available then go for download the Acrobat
if not (DoesFileexists) or (IsAcroExeLocated < 32) then
begin
buttonSelected := MessageBox(Application.Handle,
pchar(#13 + 'No Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader found. Press OK to download Adobe Acrobat Reader or press Cancel to abort.'),
pchar('Adobe Reader Required'),
mb_OKCANCEL + mb_ICONWARNING + MB_APPLMODAL) = IDOK;
// checking if OK button is pressed then open the link for download the Acrobat
if buttonSelected then
begin
ShellExecute(0, {Forms handle}
'open', {Operation}
PAnsiChar('http://get.adobe.com/reader/'), {EXE path}
nil, {Commandline parameters}
nil, {Working directory}
SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED); {show state}
end;
end;
But I want to do all in VC++

Here is my code:
vector<int> CPanoCylinderImage::RGBofPixel(CImage image, int x, int y)
{
vector<int> vect;
COLORREF cr = image.GetPixel(x, y);
BYTE r = GetRValue(cr);
BYTE g = GetGValue(cr);
BYTE b = GetBValue(cr);
vect.push_back((int)r);
vect.push_back((int)g);
vect.push_back((int)b);
return vect;
}
float CPanoCylinderImage::IntensityOfPixel(CImage image, int x, int y)
{
vector<int> vect = RGBofPixel(image, x, y);
return 0.30f * vect.at(0) + 0.59f * vect.at(1) + 0.11f * vect.at(2);
}
float CPanoCylinderImage::LuminanceDifference(CImage image1, CImage image2, int length)
{
float diff = 0.0;
float sum = 0.0;
float intensity = 0.0;
vector<float> vectImage1, vectImage2;
for(int i = 0; i < image1.GetHeight(); i++)
{
for(int j = image1.GetWidth() - length; j < image1.GetWidth(); j++)
{
intensity = IntensityOfPixel(image1, j, i);
vectImage1.push_back(intensity);
}
}
return ;
}
image1 and image2 have been loaded correctly.When I calculate intensity first time, I got the right RGB value and intensity value. But second time, I got Debug Assertion Failed when it run statement "COLORREF cr = image.GetPixel(x, y);", messagebox told me that
File: ...........\atlimage.h
Line: 1217
Expression: hBitmap == m_hBitmap
Anybody know what's happening?

Why don't you pass the CImage object by reference?

Well, I don't know, exactly. Anyway using a copy of the image object is wrong, you need to use the actual instance.

Use NetUseAdd() for this.

Thank you,
NetuseAdd() function need to link with netapi32.lib but I am unable to download that files.
I am using windowsXP as client and windows 2003 server as server.

You don't need to download anything. That file is already in your Visual Studio folder.

when i pass the 9177, 68 ,10566,635 these rectangular portion ..the output of image contains only black.
the whole area of images are black ...how to pass these rectagular portion ..??

That's wrong. you should use, for instance:
CRect rect(rectCopy);
rect.OffsetRect(-rectCopy.left, -rectCopy.top);
imageOriginal.BitBlt(imageNew.GetDC(), rect, rectCopy.TopLeft());

thank for your replay
CImage imageOriginal;
imageOriginal.Load(_T( "read.tif" ));
CRect rectCopy(9177,68, 10566, 635);
CImage imageNew;
imageNew.Create(rectCopy.Width(), rectCopy.Height(), imageOriginal.GetBPP());
CRect rect(rectCopy);
rect.OffsetRect(-rectCopy.left, -rectCopy.top);
imageOriginal.BitBlt(imageNew.GetDC(), rect, rectCopy.TopLeft());
imageNew.ReleaseDC();
imageNew.Save(_T("D://imgnew.jpg"));
still its showing the whole area of image is black

Why don't you start with 'fail-proof' parameters?
For instance you may start copying from the origin (top-left) of the source image.

The problem with my custom threadpool (fun activity, not commercial) is this:
I have, say 5 threads running, a global counter of how many pieces of work there are, and a work event which should be unsignaled (reset) when there is no work, and signaled (set) when there is work, because when there is no work, the threads simply wait on this event. I have two methods PushWork() and PopWork(). PushWork() increments the global counter by 1 using an interlocked operation, and checks "if I just incremented the global counter to 1, SetEvent()". PopWork() decrements the global counter by 1 using an interlocked operation, and checks "if I just decremented the global counter to 0, ResetEvent() and wait on the event".
The problem is a race condition. Imagine if the work queue is currently empty.
PushWork() gets called, and increments the counter to 1.
Then, PopWork() gets called and decrements the counter to 0.
PopWork(), running faster than PushWork() (for whatever reason) resets the event.
PushWork(), chugging along, then sets the event.
Now, we have a no more work in the queue, but the event is set, so the threads keep polling the queue for work. There is a similar problem for the other way around. Imagine if the work queue currently has one item.
PopWork() gets called, and decrements the counter to 0.
Then, PushWork() gets called and increments the counter to 1.
PushWork() sets the event.
PopWork() resets the event.
Now, there are work items in the queue, but the threads will stop running as soon as it hits the event.
The reason why this can occur is because modifying the counter and setting/resetting the event are not atomic. I could simply wrap both of these with a critical section, but I think the overhead is too big, since it means that for every piece of work, there are two EnterCriticalSection() calls and two LeaveCriticalSection() calls, one for each of push and pop. I've been trying to find a way to do this without locks. Does anyone have any ideas?
INFO: I use a combination of global work queues and local work queues (one per thread) as per modern threadpooling implementations with work-stealing queues. I do, however, have one global counter for all the work. I've entertained the idea of using different counters but don't see how that would solve my problem.

1. Lock-free programming is *very* difficult - and I don't think can be done for your specific case of multiple, unconnected actions.
2. If the overhead of calling critical section is significant compared to amount of work being done in the thread, your work items are much too small.
You need to make your two actions atomic - the only way to do that is to serialize access to a combination of work queue and event, using a mutex or critical section.
A different way might be for the thing that's pushing the work to select the thread that's to do the work and, by having an event per thread, signal the selected thread to pick up a work item. If there are no waiting threads, do nothing. And when a thread enters a waiting state, it can look at the work queue before entering the waiting state and pick the next work item.

I sort of figured that might be the case.
If the overhead of calling critical section is significant compared to amount of work being done in the thread, your work items are much too small.
What I use for work items is something in the order of a hundred multiplications/divisions. So, for instance, say I want to multiply two square matrices matrices or equal size using the naive method, I split up the work so that each <column,row> entry of the resulting matrix is a single work item. If I have a 100x100 matrix multiplied by a 100x100 matrix, then that gives me 100 multiplications and 100 additions for each of 100x100 (10000) work items. This seems to really stress my threadpool implementation since the single-threaded version of this naive matrix multiplication is a lot faster, and it's definitely due to the overhead of my threadpool. I was thinking that a more efficient use of synchronization (if possible) might alleviate this problem, however, I haven't actually extensively profiled my program. What I do know, however, is that the vast majority of the time is being spent on queueing the work, rather than doing the actual work.
A different way might be for the thing that's pushing the work to select the thread that's to do the work and, by having an event per thread, signal the selected thread to pick up a work item. If there are no waiting threads, do nothing. And when a thread enters a waiting state, it can look at the work queue before entering the waiting state and pick the next work item.
OK, that's some food for thought. I'll think about this and see if I can implement something accordingly.
Thanks for your comments.

I was thinking with my suggested alternate solution that as you're using an event per thread, you could use a lock-free queue - there are plenty of implementations on the web if you Google for "lock free queue c++". It's a case of finding a trust-worthy one! This[^] may be useful, while this[^] may be of interest, as might this[^]. In fact, as all of those are by Herb Sutter, Herb Sutter's blog[^] is probably of interest!

Have you considered using Interlocked Singly Linked Lists[^] for your work que? This would make adding, removing and querying all atomic operations.
