thanx for ur reply,
here is the code snippet.

1)hMsg = CryptMsgOpenToDecode(MY_ENCODING_TYPE,0,0,0,NULL,NULL);

2)if(!(CryptMsgUpdate(hMsg,pbData,cbData,TRUE)))
{

}
3)if(!(CryptMsgGetParam(hMsg,CMSG_HASH_DATA_PARAM,0,NULL,&cbHash)))
{

}

4)if(!(CryptMsgGetParam(hMsg,CMSG_HASH_DATA_PARAM,0,pbHash,&cbHash)))
{

}

in step 3 i am getting CRYPT_E_INVALID_MSG_TYPE error.
but this message is pkcs7 signed message and also i am able to verify the
signature using other tools.Is there any wrong in this?
thanx
