how to make a progress bar that show Maya are working on it

[Yoga Yasahardja]

Hi, so I'm new to maya python and have created a tools that when I pressed the button, that will copy files to destination. 

As for more practice and make it cool, I want to create a progress bar when maya doing this work. This things also can let people clear wheter the job has been finished or not. 

I don't get how the cmds.progressBar work for this things, and how to put it. Some enlighten would be very appreciated. :) 

I also didn't get what is this and how to use it (found in this forum) : 

gMainProgressBar = maya.mel.eval('$tmp = $gMainProgressBar')

Because that's leads me to nothing. 

This is a copy of my script. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import maya.cmds as cmds

import os

import shutil

if cmds.window('fileMover', exists=True):

    cmds.deleteUI('fileMover', window=True)

folder = os.listdir("B:/PROJECT/JTM03")

ep = []

for item in folder:

    if len(item) <= 6:

        ep.append(item)

def moveButton(*args):

    listItem = cmds.textScrollList( 'scrollList', q=True, si=True)

    for item in listItem:

        episode = item.split('_')[1]

        scene = item.split('_')[2]

        shots = item.split('_')[3]

        phase = item.split('_')[4]

        finalpath =  'B:/PROJECT/JTM03/' + episode + '/' + phase.split('.')[0] + '/'

        newFileName = 'JT_' + episode + '_' + scene + '_shot' + shots.split('SH')[1] + '_ani.ma'

        srcfile = finalpath + item

        dstdir = 'V:/J_Team/3D/Shots/' + episode + '/' + scene + '/shot'+ shots.split('SH')[1] + '/'

        finaldst = 'V:/J_Team/3D/Shots/' + episode + '/' + scene + '/shot'+ shots.split('SH')[1] + '/' + newFileName

        if not os.path.exists(dstdir):

            os.makedirs(dstdir)

        shutil.copy2(srcfile, finaldst) 

def printMenu( episodes ):

    if cmds.textScrollList('scrollList', exists=True):

        cmds.deleteUI('scrollList', control=True)

    epFolder = []

    directory = os.listdir("B:/PROJECT/JTM03/"+str(episodes)+"/ANM")

    for file in directory:

        if file.endswith(".ma"):

            epFolder.append(file)

    

    cmds.textScrollList( 'scrollList', append=epFolder, ams=True, w=300)

    if cmds.button('moveButton', exists=True):

        cmds.deleteUI('moveButton', control=True)

    cmds.button('moveButton', label='MOVE TO CLIENT FOLDER', w=300, h=50, c=moveButton)

#WINDOW

window = cmds.window('fileMover', title='FILE MOVER', sizeable=False)

cmds.columnLayout()

cmds.optionMenu( label='   EPISODES  ', changeCommand=printMenu, w=300, h=40 )

##dropdown menu

for i in range(0,len(ep)):

    cmds.menuItem( label = ep[i] ) 

cmds.showWindow( window )

First you need to import 

import maya.mel as mel

and your moveButton function will look like this

def moveButton(*args):

    listItem = cmds.textScrollList( 'scrollList', q=True, si=True)

    # accessing maya Main progreas bar

    bar_name = mel.eval('$tmp = $gMainProgressBar')

    # creating bar

    cmds.progressBar(bar_name, e=True, bp=True, ii=True, status='"Your Message...', max=len(listItem))

    barCount=0

    for item in listItem:

        episode = item.split('_')[1]

        scene = item.split('_')[2]

        shots = item.split('_')[3]

        phase = item.split('_')[4]

        finalpath =  'B:/PROJECT/JTM03/' + episode + '/' + phase.split('.')[0] + '/'

        newFileName = 'JT_' + episode + '_' + scene + '_shot' + shots.split('SH')[1] + '_ani.ma'

        srcfile = finalpath + item

        dstdir = 'V:/J_Team/3D/Shots/' + episode + '/' + scene + '/shot'+ shots.split('SH')[1] + '/'

        finaldst = 'V:/J_Team/3D/Shots/' + episode + '/' + scene + '/shot'+ shots.split('SH')[1] + '/' + newFileName

        if not os.path.exists(dstdir):

            os.makedirs(dstdir)

        shutil.copy2(srcfile, finaldst) 

        # adding progress in bar

        cmds.progressBar(bar_name, edit=True, step=barCount)

        barCount+=1

    # Ending bar

    cmds.progressBar(bar_name, edit=True, endProgress=True)

That's not working as I want. But thankyou bro.. I'll try to combine it with this one I found : 

I think the key is I have to put my task into maxlimit and right now I'm thinking to solve it. 

Thanks for enlighting me up!   

def progress():

    cmds.progressWindow(title='Progress Bar', progress=0, status='Progress : 0%%', isInterruptable=False)

    limit = 1000000

    step = 1

    for i in xrange(limit):

        progress = 100.0 / limit * i

        if progress % step:

            continue

        cmds.progressWindow(e=True, progress=progress, status='Creating Directory : %d%%' % progress)

        

    cmds.progressWindow(endProgress=True)

    

    cmds.progressWindow(title='Progress Bar', progress=0, status='Progress : 0%%', isInterruptable=False)

    for i in xrange(limit):

        progress = 100.0 / limit * i

        if progress % step:

            continue

        cmds.progressWindow(e=True, progress=progress, status='Copying Files : %d%%' % progress)

        

    cmds.progressWindow(endProgress=True)

    

progress()

message = cmds.confirmDialog(message="Successfully Copied!         ", ma = 'left', icn='information')
