Using ProgressBar class

Question

I'm not following how to use the UI type ProgressBar in pyMel.

The old way, or the derivative of this was to do this:

cmds.progressBar('barName', edit=1, progress=50)

However I can't seem to figure out how to use the pymel version of this.

This is what I've tried:

ProgressBar('barName').setProgress(50)

This doesn't work obviously, however I'd much rather use the pymel version, it's cleaner and easier to read.

Answer 1

You just have to specify from which module ProgressBar() is from. Here it's ui.

ui.ProgressBar('myPBar').setProgress(50)
