Python Tkinter ProgressBar in tkinter without ttk

I am currently creating a program with a loading bar (Tkinter ProgressBar) in Tkinter. The problem is - that using tkinter.ttk is a pain - I have to change pretty much all of my code using that method, and seeming as I am fairly new to Tkinter, it isn't ideal to do so. Is there any other way of using the progressbar widget without the tkinter.ttk module?

(If I had to use the tkinter.ttk module I would have to spend hours sifting through my code and changing it - which I don't want to do!!)

Many thanks in advance!

Solution

  • Tkinter doesn't have a progress bar except through ttk.

    If you find tkinter.ttk.progressbar too difficult, just change how you import it.

    For example:

    from tkinter.ttk import Progressbar
...
pb = Progressbar(...)

    or this, which I think is the better solution:

    from tkinter import ttk
...
pb = ttk.Progressbar(...)
