topic SetProgressor used in Python Toolbox in Python Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/setprogressor-used-in-python-toolbox/m-p/392763#M31089 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I made a tool in the 'My Toolboxes', part of ArcMAPS. Now it does several functions and I want it to show a progress bar in the dialog box that pops up at first when one runs the script. I put the SetProgressor and nothing shows up. The box just takes the input from the parms and does it's think while shutting down after I click the 'OK' button at the bottom.</P><P></P><P>How does it work? Also same for the AddMessage. It goes to the log but not on the popup window when I run it.</P><P></P><P>Thanks!</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 24 Jun 2016 14:39:13 GMT PaulHacker2 2016-06-24T14:39:13Z SetProgressor used in Python Toolbox https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/setprogressor-used-in-python-toolbox/m-p/392763#M31089 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I made a tool in the 'My Toolboxes', part of ArcMAPS.
