Start() stop() step() methods to manage autoincrement of Floodgauge widget of ttkbootstrap

Floodgauge.start()

Start the autoincrement of the Floodgauge.

Floodgauge.stop()

Stop the autoincrement of the Floodgauge.

Floodgauge.step()

Step increase the value of the Floodgauge.

Here is one example where on click of button we can call the different methods to manage the Floodgauge.

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.constants import *

my_w = ttk.Window()
my_w.geometry("520x320")  # width and height

fg = ttk.Floodgauge(
    bootstyle=INFO,
    mask="Progress {}%",
    value=10,
    length=500,
   )
fg.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=10, pady=50, columnspan=4)

b1 = ttk.Button(my_w, text="Start", 
    command=lambda:fg.start(), bootstyle=SUCCESS)
b1.grid(row=2, column=1, padx=10, pady=40)

b2 = ttk.Button(my_w, text="Stop", 
    command=lambda:fg.stop(), bootstyle=DANGER)
b2.grid(row=2, column=2, padx=10, pady=40)
    
b3 = ttk.Button(my_w, text="Jump",
     command=lambda:fg.step(5), bootstyle=PRIMARY)
b3.grid(row=2, column=3, padx=10, pady=40)

b4 = ttk.Button(my_w, text="Reset",
     command=lambda:fg.configure(value=10), bootstyle=WARNING)
b4.grid(row=2, column=4, padx=10, pady=40)

my_w.mainloop()

Floodgauge start() stop() & step() method to manage autoincrement & update bootstyle based on value

Managing colour by bootstyle

We will update the colour or style of the Floodgauge based on the value. Here we will create different colour ranges and accordingly update the bootstyle parameter value.
To trigger the change we will use trace() method of the Floodgauge variable.
Here once the fg.variable value changes, it will trigger the function my_upd().

fg.variable.trace('w',my_upd)

Here is the code for my_upd()

def my_upd(*args):
    if fg.variable.get()<25:
        fg.configure(bootstyle=INFO)
    elif fg.variable.get()<50:
        fg.configure(bootstyle=SUCCESS)
    elif fg.variable.get()<80:
        fg.configure(bootstyle=WARNING)
    else:
        fg.configure(bootstyle=DANGER)
fg.variable.trace('w',my_upd)

Full code with buttons to start, stop, jump and Reset is here .

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.constants import *

my_w = ttk.Window()
my_w.geometry("520x320")  # width and height

fg = ttk.Floodgauge(
    bootstyle=INFO,
    mask="Progress {}%",
    value=10,
    length=500,
)
fg.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=10, pady=50, columnspan=4)

b1 = ttk.Button(my_w, text="Start", command=lambda: fg.start(), bootstyle=SUCCESS)
b1.grid(row=2, column=1, padx=10, pady=40)

b2 = ttk.Button(my_w, text="Stop", command=lambda: fg.stop(), bootstyle=DANGER)
b2.grid(row=2, column=2, padx=10, pady=40)

b3 = ttk.Button(my_w, text="Jump", command=lambda: fg.step(5), bootstyle=PRIMARY)
b3.grid(row=2, column=3, padx=10, pady=40)

b4 = ttk.Button(
    my_w, text="Reset", command=lambda: fg.configure(value=10), bootstyle=WARNING
)
b4.grid(row=2, column=4, padx=10, pady=40)


def my_upd(*args):
    if fg.variable.get() < 25:
        fg.configure(bootstyle=INFO)
    elif fg.variable.get() < 50:
        fg.configure(bootstyle=SUCCESS)
    elif fg.variable.get() < 80:
        fg.configure(bootstyle=WARNING)
    else:
        fg.configure(bootstyle=DANGER)


fg.variable.trace("w", my_upd)
my_w.mainloop()
