Scrolling Progress Bar in Tkinter

Question

I have been trying to set up a progress bar in a python tkinter gui that shows that a process is running. The process is long and I have no way to really measure the progress, so I need to use an indeterminate progress bar. However, I really dislike the style of the ttk indeterminate progress bar that bounces back and forth. I want one that scrolls across the bar over and over again, kind of like this image

Is this possible with tkinter?

Answer 1

have you tried ttk's determinate Progressbar? You can make the progress just continuously scroll across the bar.

for example:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import tkinter
import tkinter.ttk as ttk

root = tkinter.Tk()
frame = ttk.Frame()
pb = ttk.Progressbar(frame, length=300, mode='determinate')
frame.pack()
pb.pack()
pb.start(25)
root.mainloop()
