Easy way to modify progress bar in existing Delphi code?

Question

Hello,

I am using demo code which compresses all files in folder. However, it's progress bar displays not total progress, but progress for every file.

Is there any easy way to modify code so progress bar would display total progress and not progress for every single file?

procedure DoProgress(Sender: TObject; Position, Total: Integer);
procedure DoCompressFile(Sender: TObject; const Filename: string);

....

procedure TJvZLibMultipleMainForm.DoCompressFile(Sender:TObject;const Filename:string);
begin
  lblFilename.Caption := Filename;
  Update;
end;

    procedure TJvZLibMultipleMainForm.btnCompressClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  z : TJvZlibMultiple;
begin
  ForceDirectories(ExtractFilePath(edFilename.Text));
  z := TJvZlibMultiple.Create(nil);
  Screen.Cursor := crHourGlass;
  try
    lblFilename.Caption := '';
    pbProgress.Position := 0;
    z.OnProgress := DoProgress;
    z.OnCompressingFile := DoCompressFile;
    z.CompressDirectory(edSrcFolder.Text,true,edFilename.Text);
  finally
    z.Free;
    Screen.Cursor := crDefault;
  end;
  pbProgress.Position := 0;
  lblFilename.Caption := 'Ready';
end;


procedure TJvZLibMultipleMainForm.DoProgress(Sender: TObject; Position, Total: Integer);
begin
  pbProgress.Max := Total;
  pbProgress.Position := Position;
  Update;
end;

Answer 1

A simple approach would be counting the files in the directory with Findfirst and Findnext, then setting pbProgress.Max to that and then incrementing pcProgress.Position by 1 in DoCompressFile.

Answer 2

Or better yet, add up the size of the files to a total size and increment position by the number of bytes processed.
