tkinter progressbar with text inside it

Question

import Tkinter
import ttk
def main():
  root = Tkinter.Tk()
  root.geometry("500x200")
  ft = ttk.Frame()
  ft.pack(expand=True, fill=Tkinter.BOTH, side=Tkinter.TOP)
  pb_hd = ttk.Progressbar(ft, orient='horizontal', mode='indeterminate')
  pb_hd.pack(expand=False, fill=Tkinter.BOTH, side=Tkinter.TOP)

  pb_hd.start(50)
  root.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
  main()

I want to add text inside the progress bar but not getting any idea how to do it?

Answer 1

The ttk progressbar does not support a text option. You can create a label and pack it immediately above or below the widget.
