set variable argument to a control variable such as IntVar .

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk


def start():
    
   w.start()

def stopfunc():
    w.stop()
    #var.set(var.get())

def reset():
    var.set(0)

window = Tk()

var = IntVar()

w = ttk.Progressbar(window, variable=var)
w.pack()
button1 = ttk.Button(window, text = 'start', command = start)
button1.pack()
button2 = ttk.Button(window, text = 'stop', command = stopfunc)
button2.pack()

button2 = ttk.Button(window, text = 'reset', command = reset)
button2.pack()


window.mainloop()
