How to create an embedded progress bar in app designer, Matlab R2019a?

I would like to create a progress bar that shows the progress for when a button is clicked on to complete a certain task in app designer. For example, if I wanted to create a simple app that outputs multiple plots on a UIAxes after clicking on a button, I want to see the progress from 0-100 for this task displayed in the same UIFigure where 100% shows the final product of the UIAxes with all plots and labels. I don't have an example app to link. I am aware this is something available in the 2020 version of MATLAB but I am using 2019a. Thanks.

You can use the Linear Gauge component and have that update to show your progress.

Linear Gauge component does seem to lack customisation options (or styles), unless there any undocumented settings that could help make it look more like a progress bar?

I'm going to try using something like this:progressbar - File Exchange - MATLAB Central, or maybe even a bar chart...
