Try:

$var = GUICtrlRead ($progress)

$var will = the current percentage.

No its not a GUI that im making... its a different window. I dont even know if its possable with Autoit... i was just wondering...

Look at Auto3Lib from PaulIA

A3LProgress.au3

EDIT:

This should work but it's missing there

Global Const $PBM_GETPOS                        = $WM_USER + 8

Func _Progress_GetPos($hWnd)
  Return _API_SendMessage($hWnd, $PBM_GETPOS, 0, 0)
EndFunc

I should have clearified, its not a GUI im making, but rather another program.

Doesn't matter. Auto3Lib will read ProgressBar controls in external apps as well. (And I've added the missing function Zedna is referring to a LONG time ago).
