Progress bars are scrollbars whose style property is set to "progress".

You set a scrollbar's current position with the thumbPosition. So for 
example if you want a progress bar with 100 increments, and you want 
to set it to show the task is half done, you'd do

   set the startValue of scrollbar "Progress" to zero
   set the endValue of scrollbar "Progress" to 100
   set the thumbPosition of scrollbar "Progress" to 50
