• Place j2k-codec.h where your compiler can find it and #include it.
  
  
• Place j2k-codec.lib where your compiler can find it, then tell the compiler to use it. For MSVC it is done in the Project Settings (Alt-F7):
  
  
  
  
  You may also want to add a new lib directory into your MSVC options:
  
  
  
  
• Place j2k-codec.dll near your executable. Remember what Jeff Cogswell said in his "Designing Highly Useable Software":
  

  "Thus, as I just mentioned, if you're letting the system loader load your libraries for you, the only viable place to put them is in the same directory as the application."

• That's it. The plugging part is done. Now you are ready to see.

To allow you to start as quickly as possible, we have created a "1-Call" shortcut function:

J2K_Image::easyDecode()

You can see also the "a_EasyDecode" sample, where it is actually used.

First of all you need to purchase J2K-Codec and get your personal registration key.

You can do it here: http://j2k-codec.com/order.html

Then, you will need to pass your key to j2k-codec.dll via J2K_Unlock() function.

Take a look at the "b_Unlock" sample for more information.
