I have an excel vba code that finds a particular cell in a sheet. It uses the Find method form the excel libraries. Here is the code

objRange.Fi         


        

Answer 1

I addressed this by creating overload methods that calls the core method with the value I want. e.g. I want the user to be able to specify the number of processed records or call the "Increment" method and then just call "WriteProgress" with no argument:

class UserFeedback {
[string]$Name
[int]$ThingCount
[datetime]$ProcessStartDateTime
[int]$ProcessedCount

UserFeedback ([string] $Name,[int]$ThingCount){
    $this.ProcessStartDateTime = Get-Date
    $this.Name = $Name
    $this.ThingCount = $ThingCount
    $this.ProcessedCount = 0
}

WriteProgress([int] $intProcessed){
    $this.ProcessStartDateTime        
    $SecondsElapsed = ((Get-Date) - $this.ProcessStartDateTime).TotalSeconds
    $SecondsRemaining = ($SecondsElapsed / ($intProcessed / $this.ThingCount)) - $SecondsElapsed
    Write-Progress -Activity $this.Name -PercentComplete (($intProcessed/$($this.ThingCount)) * 100) -CurrentOperation "$("{0:N2}" -f ((($intProcessed/$($this.ThingCount)) * 100),2))% Complete" -SecondsRemaining $SecondsRemaining
}

WriteProgress(){
    $this.WriteProgress($this.ProcessedCount)
}

Increment(){
    $this.ProcessedCount ++    
}

}
