I have a loop that goes through all the lines of a file with:

for line in fileinput.input(my_file,mode="rb") :

I was trying to update the Status bar but it is not updating.
Even setting it to spin, leaves it with the bars but with no movement.
Is there a way to for the update of the status bar?
Why is it not updating?

Now I just have it inside a while loop:
while len(fbx_list1)>0:
and I even included a c4d.EventAdd() right after the c4d.StatusSetBar(progress) and I still have no refresh in the status bar.

Hi Rui,
in which context are you experiencing this (Python plugin (which function), Python script, Python node, Python generator,...)?

I'm testing it as a script and it doesn't work.
But after this, I will be creating a CommandPlugin.
Will it work there, if it is not working in the script?

Hi Rui,
actually I would have to look up. But my assumption is, that the script is executed in the same thread, that handling the entire GUI. And if you are looping in this thread, there's obviously no one, who could update the status bar.
In a plugin, you have (nearly) all freedom. You could either offload the work into a thread. Or you can break up your loop to give the GUI "time to breathe". This all highly depends on your actual implementation.
