Floodgauge Progress Bar – Tkinter TTKBootstrap 7

In this video I’ll show you how to use the TTKBootstrap Floodgauge for TKinter and Python.

The Flood Guage is like a progressbar but a little bit fancier than what normally comes with Tkinter.

We’ll look at all it’s main attributes in this video, including starting floodgauge, stopping floodgauge, and incrementing floodgauge using steps.

Python Code: flood.py
(Github Code)

from tkinter import *
import ttkbootstrap as tb

root = tb.Window(themename="superhero")

#root = Tk()
root.title("TTK Bootstrap! Floodgauge")
root.iconbitmap('images/codemy.ico')
root.geometry('500x550')


def starter():
	# Start the guage
	my_gauge.start()
	while my_gauge.variable.get() < 80:
		my_label.config(text=f"Position: {my_gauge.variable.get()}")

def stopper():
	my_gauge.stop()

def incrementer():
	my_gauge.step(10)
	my_label.config(text=f"Position: {my_gauge.variable.get()}")



my_gauge = tb.Floodgauge(root, bootstyle="success",
	font=("Helvetica", 18),
	mask="Pos: {}%",
	maximum=80,
	orient="horizontal",
	value=0,
	mode="determinate"
	)
my_gauge.pack(pady=50, fill=X, padx=20)


start_button = tb.Button(root, text="Start", bootstyle="danger outline", command=starter)
start_button.pack(pady=20)

stop_button = tb.Button(root, text="Stop", bootstyle="danger outline", command=stopper)
stop_button.pack(pady=20)

inc_button = tb.Button(root, text="Increment", bootstyle="danger outline", command=incrementer)
inc_button.pack(pady=20)

my_label = tb.Label(root, text="Position: ")
my_label.pack(pady=20)



root.mainloop()
