How to Display Progress bar from Windows shell in TKinter? - python-3.x

Question

I am running an "Any file type to PDF Convertor" code using python. When I convert Word files to PDF, it displays a progress bar in the Windows Shell like so:
But I want this progress bar to be displayed inside the Tkinter window.
Is there a way to do this?
Because when I run it as an exe, I cannot let "-w" stay there otherwise the program crashes.
Here's the code:
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image
from tkinter import filedialog
def buttonclick():
root.filename=filedialog.askopenfilename(initialdir="Pictures", title="Select File", filetypes=(("All Files","*.*"),("PNG Files","*.png"),("JPG Files","*.jpg")))
try:
locus=root.filename.split(".")
dest=str(locus[0]+".pdf")
if str(locus[-1])=="docx":
from docx2pdf import convert
'''
import ttk as t
progressbar = t.Progressbar(orient=HORIZONTAL, length=200, mode='determinate')
progressbar.pack(side="bottom")
'''
convert(root.filename,dest)
#progressbar.start()
notifier=Label(root, text="File converted to PDF successfully!", fg="green", bg="#BFDFFF").pack()
elif str(locus[-1])=="pdf":
notifier=Label(root, text="PDF file Selected! Choose another file type.", fg="black", bg="#BFDFFF").pack()
elif str(locus[-1])=="":
notifier=Label(root, text="Please select a file!", fg="black", bg="#BFDFFF").pack()
else:
imge=Image.open(root.filename)
im1 = imge.convert('RGB')
im1.save(dest)
notifier=Label(root, text="File converted to PDF successfully!", fg="green", bg="#BFDFFF").pack()
except:
notifier=Label(root, text="An unexpected error occured!", fg="red", bg="#BFDFFF").pack()
root=Tk()
root.title("Any File to PDF Convertor")
root.config(bg="#BFDFFF")
root.geometry("300x200")
root.iconbitmap("D:\Coding\MyIcon.ico")
convert=Button(root, text="Select File",font=("Helvetica", 20), bg="#85FF97",command=lambda: buttonclick())
convert.pack(pady=20)
root.mainloop()

Why not try a progress bar widget. Check out this code. I did not bother adapting my solution to your case since you have accepted the answer:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *
import os
root = Tk()
# I set the length and maximum as shown to demonstrate the process in the
# proceeding function. Pay attention to the increment r
progress = Progressbar(root, orient = HORIZONTAL,
length = 200/5, maximum=200/5, mode = 'determinate')
# Function
def my_func():
t=0
r= 1/5
for i in range(200):
print(i) #whatever function interests you
t=t+r
progress['value'] = t
root.update_idletasks()
progress.pack()
# Button
Button(root, text = 'Start', command = bar).pack(pady = 10)
mainloop()
