I'm learning Pyside QProgressBar
on MacOSX. When I use QProgressBar like following, it only indicate 0% or 100%. How to make a QProgressBar smoothly? Is there any way to do this?
from PySide.QtGui import QApplication, QProgressBar, QWidget
from PySide.QtCore import QTimer
import time
app = QApplication([])
pbar = QProgressBar()
pbar.setMinimum(0)
pbar.setMaximum(100)
pbar.show()
def drawBar():
global pbar
pbar.update()
t = QTimer()
t.timeout.connect(drawBar)
t.start(100)
for i in range(1,101):
time.sleep(0.1)
pbar.setValue(i)
app.exec_()
Get rid of this code:
for i in range(1,101): # this won't work, because
time.sleep(0.1) # Qt's event loop can't run while
pbar.setValue(i) # you are forcing the thread to sleep
and instead, add a global variable p:
p = 0
and increment it in your drawBar() function:
def drawBar():
global pbar
global p
p = p + 1
pbar.setValue(p)
pbar.update()
QPropertyAnimation is easy to use and it does the smooth change for you.
animation = QtCore.QPropertyAnimation(pbar, "value")
animation.setDuration(???)
animation.setStartValue(0)
animation.setEndValue(100)
animation.start()
Edited post:
Just replace everything between pbar.show() and app.exec() by the code I suggested
Here is the complete code:
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget, QProgressBar, QApplication
from PyQt5.QtCore import QTimer, QPropertyAnimation
app = QApplication([])
pbar = QProgressBar()
pbar.setMinimum(0)
pbar.setMaximum(100)
pbar.show()
animation = QPropertyAnimation(pbar, "value")
animation.setDuration(2000)
animation.setStartValue(0)
animation.setEndValue(100)
animation.start()
app.exec_()
