How to show DD progress in kdialog --progressbar

Hi! I'm literally just after signing up to this forum in the hope that one of you might be able to help me out with a little problem I've been having??? To put it in terms I can understand (which is very simple) here goes, I want to run

echo "$passwd" | sudo -S dd if=$open1 of=$selectusb bs=4M status=progress | kdialog --progressbar --title "Copying Data" 0 100 0 "Copying..."

and display the output in a kdialog --progressbar.

I promise this is not the first place i've asked but for some strange reason i cannot seem to get a relatively I spent quite a while on google looking too but to be honest I genuinely am not really sure how to phrase my question.

It's not a major problem but i would truely appreciate any help.
