Just convert your src sequence
(with the length in bytes = uiWidth * uiHeight)
into the Intel-format (by granularity of DWORD)
at the beginning of the function... 
virtual void BeHappy() = 0;

Hi,
the difference between little-endian and big-endian is: multi-byte values are stored with their least significant byte first for little-endian, and with their most significant byte first for big-endian.
This implies variables of type short, int, long, float, double get their bytes swapped, however byte-oriented values (such as char, and string) remain unchanged. Now, assuming vlByte is a byte, that may make no difference whatsoever to the code shown. Maybe the only difference is where you obtain uiWidth and uiHeight, however that must happen outside the function shown.

Could someone please explain to me why the following code does not work?
I build a new thread in a view process:
….
m_COpenHR_AutoCOM_Thread = (COpenHR_AutoCOM_Thread*) AfxBeginThread(ThreadFunction,this,THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST);
VERIFY(m_COpenHR_AutoCOM_Thread);
return 1;
}
Runs the thread function within the view class just fine.
Now I want to stop the process.
In property page I have this code to post thread message:
CWinThread* pCurrentThread = AfxGetThread( );
if(!pCurrentThread->PostThreadMessage(WM_USER_AUTO_COM , 0, 1))
{
TRACE("PostThreadMessage(WM_USER_AUTO_COM , 0, 1))");
}
In the derived CWinThread class I have this:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(COpenHR_AutoCOM_Thread, CWinThread)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(COpenHR_AutoCOM_Thread)
// NOTE - the ClassWizard will add and remove mapping macros here.
ON_THREAD_MESSAGE( WM_USER_AUTO_COM, ControlThread )
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
I never get to the ControlThread function.
What am I missing or doing wrong? Should PostThreadMessage be directed to my new thread and how?
Thanks you for your help.

AfxGetThread( ) must be called from within the thread.
In your code, the pCurrentThread doesn't point to the thread you wish to send the message.
Instead you must use,
m_COpenHR_AutoCOM_Thread->PostThreadMessage(WM_USER_AUTO_COM , 0, 1))

I think you are creating a worker thread. As per my knowledge, you may need to create a UI thread inorder to post messages to the new thread. See the other version of AfxBeginThread function.

Use User Interface thread instead worker thread.

You need to create a thread with a message pump so that it can receive and process your message. Right now, you're creating a background worker, which won't have a message pump.
Take a look at this article to achieve what you're trying to do: www.flounder.com/uithreads.htm[^]

You could use an event (e.g., CEvent) between the two threads. Signal it in the primary thread, and check it in the secondary thread using WaitForSingleObject().

Thanks y'all!
I guess I missed it somewhere in documentation that I need the message queue / pump. But I was puzzled why my CWinThread derived class was never constructed.Duh!
But I am beginning to see big flaw in my design - I need to "unload" processing time from the main thread ( I hope that is in English!) so I can click the button to stop my process. But I want to stop this process at specific location , so why am I going thru all this extra code if I can just put a global flag and set it in the worker thread?
What would be the difference between this (flag) and setting an event in worker thread and waiting for it in the main thread as suggested?
(BTW very good suggestion,thanks)
I prefer KISS methods! I was just trying to learn how to communicate between threads for future reference when the task won't be so simple.
Anyway, can someone elaborate on this: if I create worker thread variable in one thread (as I did ) how can I use that variable ( to control the thread as I wanted originaly) from another class ( object )?
Do I need a global variable? How would that appoach differ from my use of simple flag?
But I think I am getting too far into left field of what - if scenario.
Thanks again for all you suggestions, I really appreciate it.

Addendum
I decided to try the UI thread to stop the process. Seems like a challenge and I like to torture myself with goofy programming techniques.
Now I cannot figure out how to execute the process I was after. This process ( used to be worker thread "function") and its 300+ lines of code is in the view main thread!
It is OK to make the view variable in the new UI thread? On first thought it seems like "circular reference". Any other way to do this “ function transfer” from the view?
Thanks for all you help.

"Progress" report:
I have managed to execute an equivalent of "worker thread function" located in the UI thread class.
Two problems:
1. It needs access to document and it asserts there. I am working on why.
2. The big one:
If I temporary bypass the code( won't work witout the document) and just do an infinite loop ( even with some Sleep in it) I cannot click the UI button! That means only one thing - the OS is too busy letting the main thread messages thru! That is not what I was after in the first place!
If I continue with multithreaded approach (just for kiks) I need to write some more code! Joy!?

Try ExitWindowsEx(EWX_REBOOT).

As someone else already suggested, you can use the command "shutdown -r" which will run just as though you used it through command prompt. An example:
void main()
{
system("shutdown -r");
}
This will default to a 30 second timer before the computer begins to shutdown. With some effort, you should be able to find a way to decrease the timer, although I'm not positive.
EDIT: system("shutdown -r -t 10"); that will set the shutdown timer to 10 seconds, instead of the default 30. The command shutdown tells the computer what to do, "-r" is for resetting the computer, "-t xx" (-t 10) sets the time to the amount of seconds you indicate, so if your code were "system("shutdown -r -t 1");" The computer would start resetting one second after your program executes that line of code. Theoretically you can set it to 0 seconds, but I don't feel like testing that one

i have my C++ code that i developed in Visual Studio 2008
the solution contains 4 projects
i want that code to be ported to LINUX. i know the linux complier is GCC and i have no clue how to do it. i think it is done using a makefile but still if u ppl can help me.

VS2008 does not have a "makefile" export; So, you'd better sit down and learn how to manually generate makefiles which is one of the devil created file format (IMO). You might be interested in using one of the many IDE available on linux (kdevelop, ... ) that should ease your pain by "wrapping" the makefile in a nice environment.
One the other hand, depending on how much your application is tied to Visual Studio and/or windows (API and framework) the makefile might be the least of your problem.
