Is it more urgent then this question? The double posting let me assume so, generally it's better to ask a specific programming question... instead of asking others to do your homework or find a solution for a work assignment. Laugh | :laugh:

Reading a file byte by byte as absolutely nothing to do with drawing an histogram. So, your question is totally unclear.
A previous post already answered how to read the file.

Oh please be frank, you have asked for a complete solution not how to read a simple file... here what I would suggest: Brake down your problem and try to ask specific technical questions if you get stuck. Let's look at your task:

1) open file and read it into memory
2) analyse image file format and e.g. decompress it to raw RGB data (e.g. use a library that provides that)
3) use histogram algorithm (very likely out of scope for this forum)
4) create a user interface that can output your data. If you want a graph of the historgram you should browse for custom controls here at CodeProject or alternatively write your own owner-draw control to do that.
5) extend your user interface to modify the histogram.... and further functionality you may want add to your application.

With each subtask it may be possible to help, now go get coding!! Big Grin | :-D

From the title I guess you have a multithreading app, isn't it? The errors say nothing valueable unless you describe at which conditions you got them. Here I suspect you have a problem with synchronization issues [particularly, your std::string object gets corrupted by concurrent accesses within the threads]..

yes!

when I debug, some time i got some strange values which is actually related with some other thread.

Are you doing proper syncronization? I know you do not. Smile | :)

You should prevent multiple accesses to your string data by giving the monopoly to a single thread at a given time period. std classes are not thread safe. This means you should yourself take care of synchronizing their usage.
See here[^] about synchronization issues.

I have tried out my way but not getting the proper result.

string problem is as remain as but even dw never goes in the any of the cas like
case WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1: +2 or +3.

what should I do ?
how can i manage it ?

<code>

unsigned __stdcall Thread(void* pArguments )
{
	HRESULT hr=NULL;
	struct argument_list *Lparam= (argument_list *)pArguments ;
	Package pkg;
	
	DWORD  dw=WaitForMultipleObjects(ListBoxItemCount,hThread,TRUE,5000 );									 
							
	switch (dw)
	{
	  						
	  case WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 0:
	  // a process with h[0] descriptor has exited							      								   
	  hr=pkg.EncodeMediaContent(Lparam->pszInFile,Lparam->pszOutFil,Lparam->hwndParent,Lparam->Host,Lparam->UserID,Lparam->InitPackageRequest,Lparam->ScriptFile,Lparam->Port,Lparam->hList,Lparam->_ProtectSet,Lparam->hWndinoutfiledir,Lparam->hwndEncrypt);	
	  break;

	  case WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1:

Supposedly the case WAIT_FAILED works. Anyway ...
A couple of questions;

DWORD dw=WaitForMultipleObjects(ListBoxItemCount,hThread,TRUE,5000 );

What you want to do with this code? Where does LitBoxItemCount come from? Where does hThread come from?

How many threads do you have?

I need to know the answers of these questions before I can say the reasons of your problem.

This is a multithreading issue and to overcome one needs a proper level of detailed information. What you have posted as code didn't cover all the details and thus you should provide more details. I've already asked about the questions that are not clear [at least to me].

just one question.
I need your little help. when and how the thread manage?

Suppose
I have four thread

hThread[0] = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, &Thread ,&l,NULL, &threadID);
hThread[1] = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, &Thread ,&l,NULL, &threadID);
hThread[2] = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, &Thread ,&l,NULL, &threadID);
hThread[3] = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, &Thread ,&l,NULL, &threadID);
and the global function

unsigned __stdcall Thread(void* pArguments )
{
	HRESULT hr=NULL;
	struct argument_list *Lparam= (argument_list *)pArguments ;
	Package pkg;
	threadID++;
	
	DWORD  dw=WaitForMultipleObjects(ListBoxItemCount,<big>hThread[threadID]</big>,TRUE,5000 );									 
							
	switch (dw)
	{
	  						
	  case WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 0:
	  // a process with h[0] descriptor has exited							      								   
	  hr=pkg.EncodeMediaContent(Lparam->pszInFile,Lparam->pszOutFil,Lparam->hwndParent,Lparam->Host,Lparam->UserID,Lparam->InitPackageRequest,Lparam->ScriptFile,Lparam->Port,Lparam->hList,Lparam->_ProtectSet,Lparam->hWndinoutfiledir,Lparam->hwndEncrypt);	
	  break;

	  case WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1:
	  // a process with h[1] descriptor has exited							      								   
	  hr=pkg.EncodeMediaContent(Lparam->pszInFile,Lparam->pszOutFil,Lparam->hwndParent,Lparam->Host,Lparam->UserID,Lparam->InitPackageRequest,Lparam->ScriptFile,Lparam->Port,Lparam->hList,Lparam->_ProtectSet,Lparam->hWndinoutfiledir,Lparam->hwndEncrypt);	
	  break;
	
	  case WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 2:
	  // a process with h[2] descriptor has exited							      								   
	  hr=pkg.EncodeMediaContent(Lparam->pszInFile,Lparam->pszOutFil,Lparam->hwndParent,Lparam->Host,Lparam->UserID,Lparam->InitPackageRequest,Lparam->ScriptFile,Lparam->Port,Lparam->hList,Lparam->_ProtectSet,Lparam->hWndinoutfiledir,Lparam->hwndEncrypt);	
	  break;

	  case WAIT_FAILED:
	  // failure
	  break;
							
	  case WAIT_TIMEOUT:
	  // no processes exited during 5000ms
	   break;
	

	}
	
    //printf( "In second thread...\n" );    
	if(hr==S_OK)
	{	
	MessageBox(0,L"thread gone finished" ,L"therad",0);
	_endthreadex( 0 );    	
	}
	threadID--;
	return 0;
}

how can i decide the when which thread come at hThread[],

What you want to do with this code?

with this code i am tring to synchronize my threads.

Where does LitBoxItemCount come from?

this will come from the listview control (itemcount).I put in my code as global so Global function Thread can use it.

Where does hThread come from?

hThread is array of handle which assigne the thread.

How many threads do you have?

well ,for sample application have created the three worker thread (means if there are total three files in the listview control so itemcount will be three means LitBoxItemCount)
