I did something like that by setting the background color on texts with
varying numbers of characters and setting the foreground-color to the same
value. So you could use multiple characters of the width you need.  The
characters will be invisible but the size of the 'bar' will change.

Another way could be done by making a graphic image of a granular piece of
the desired bar, then setting the imagesource of each chunk of text, they
will turn into the desired bar.

set the imageSource of character to {imageID |imageName |imageURL |empty}
set the imageSource of char 1 of line 2 of field "This" to 2533
set the imageSource of char thisChar of field 1 to "Arrow"
set the imageSource of last char of me to "binfile:My Image"
