How to use `Progress` and not the Ticks?

from shellprogressbar.

[Hooch180]

Simply set maxTics to 100 and in lambda in Progress just call Tick() with number as parameter.

Thanks @Hooch180, I did something like that, but with multiplying with a magic number, 100. I receive a more fine-grained numbers (as it is Progress<double>). Effectively, this is the same, but to me it is still a workaround. I have percentage in both cases, but cannot directly use one with the other.

This scenario is addressed in #39 (Add AsProgress<T> method on IProgressBar). If this pull request gets merged, it will become trivial to update an IProgressBar with an existing IProgress<float> or IProgress<double> which reports the percentage completed by simply calling AsProgress<float>() on the progress bar, see IntegrationWithIProgressPercentageExample:

Lines 12 to 22 in cdd94a1

	public Task Start(CancellationToken token)
	{
	using (var pbar = new ProgressBar(100, "A console progress that integrates with IProgress<float>"))
	{
	ProcessFiles(pbar.AsProgress<float>());
	}
	return Task.FromResult(1);
	}
	public static void ProcessFiles(IProgress<float> progress)
	{

Closing this as @0xced's PR is now merged.
