Is there a way to make the progress bar value read as a float instead of an integer? I have had no luck so far.

Thanks

Hi, is this perspective ?

If so, this seems to work on my end...  
The decimal separator might be different for you.

Not with the progress bar, but you can use the level indicator instead.  
Set it's orientation to left right and the value format to #.0  
Adjust colors etc.

It can be done by using the property change event handler to directly set the string property when the progress bar's value property changes.

**Example:**

```python
# Written for the progress bar's propertyChange event handler
# Any time the progress bar's value changes... 
if event.propertyName == 'value':
	
	# Using a respective min/max of 0/1000
	# Convert the value to a string that represents a 0.0 to 100.0 percentage
	# ...and assign it to the string property
	event.source.string = unicode(event.newValue * .1) + '%'

```
