Show progress on taskbar icon

Question

I placed a progressbar in my tkinter GUI but it is not showing the progress on the taskbar icon. Like when I copy and paste in Windows:

How can I implement this in my Tkinter GUI?

This is my code:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
    
root = Tk()
    
progressbar = ttk.Progressbar(orient=HORIZONTAL, length=200, mode='determinate')
progressbar.pack(side="bottom")
progressbar.start()
    
root.mainloop()

Currently, the progress bar looks like this:

I see you're using windows 10 but this will hopefully still help. – Trantrance

64 bit or 32 bit? – Trantrance

Are you using a 32 bit DLL? – Trantrance

I believe you have to use a window API, such as win32taskbar, and link it to a function you create and name it e.g update_progress. Then, take the progress from the taskbar, and update it. Here is an example:

win32taskbar.SetProgressValue(win32gui.GetForegroundWindow(), progress, 100)

progress = 0
while progress <= 100:
    progress += 1
    progressbar['value'] = progress
    update_progress(progress)
    root.update_idletasks()
    root.after(100)  # Adjust the delay as needed

You can use a python package called PyTaskbar. Install using pip:

python -m pip install PyTaskbarProgress

First, you have to provide the progress of the progress bar by modifying your code as follows:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
import time
import PyTaskbar

root = Tk()
progressbar = ttk.Progressbar(orient=HORIZONTAL, length=200, mode='determinate')
progressbar.pack(side="bottom")
progressbar.start()

progress = PyTaskbar.Progress()
progress.init()
progress.setState('loading')

while progressbar['value'] != 100:
    progress.setProgress(progressbar['value'])
    time.sleep(0.05)

prog.setState('done')
    
root.mainloop()
