setRedraw() is definitely not what you want.

It sounds like what you want is p.setEnabled(false), but that doesn't seem
to work (at least on linux/gtk2, the progressbar continues to update after
setEnabled(false) is called). Perhaps this is a bug, or maybe my
understanding of what setEnabled() does for a ProgressBar is off.

Could you live with p.setVisible(false), and just have the progressbar
disappear?
