VBA-General VS VBA-Better-Array

Here's a code repo that I've had for years now.

You can view any updates to this function via github.

But in any event, there's an API to check a window's class name (GetClassName) or you could just use u/sancarn 's Accessibility Inspector (link), or you can get the hWnd and otherwise control the appearance, dimensions and functionality of the Userform by using the Userform class by u/ViperSRT3g (link) or by using his WinAPI class (GetUFHandle).

What are you doing with this project overall? (Also you can view more of where those functions came from here)

If the four lines of code are literally to identify the bottom left most cell of data on a sheet, then functions for that already exist. The GetLastRow function from that module would be the code you'd reuse.

This would certainly be simplest with launching from a userform stored in Excel. You could make it more fancy and look like a standalone application with extra code libraries but they wouldn't be necessary.

Here's a module I use for generating hashes. It can handle SHA256/512 which is entirely overkill for this, but it's simple and easy. To generate a hash, concatenate all the fields of a record together and pass that to one of the SHA_String functions.

Ah, I ran into this problem years ago so I created the RangeFindAll function to do the work for me. It operates on the same idea as when you use CTRL+F to find a value on a worksheet. It loops through everything it finds and adds each cell to a range reference, then spits that out once it realizes that it has looped through all cells with that value. Here's an example of how simple it is to work with:

Hesitate to mention it because I haven't had time to look at the enhancement we talked about this weekend at all 😅 but yeah I do use a script like that to import the bas/cls files from the repo into a new workbook every time I do a pull request. https://github.com/Senipah/VBA-Better-Array/blob/master/scripts/createDevWorkbook.ps1

u/Senipah's VBA-Better-Array might be worth looking at.

Senipah's Better array

u/senipah has done a lot of work extending VBA's array capabilities here. I would look into this to sort your data in memory rather than reinventing the wheel.

My BetterArray library has a FromCSVFile method.

In fact, I use an alternative to arrays called BetterArrays that you can get from Github and was previously posted on Reddit in this post. To use it, you just need to download the class and drag it into your file.

Maybe this project might help you. Or maybe you could contribute.

I also have an array library available here you could try that comes with implementations of the Quicksort and Timsort algorithms built in.
