BaseContext :: displayProgress - Display progress status
The progress status is displayed usually as percentage of steps done, as number of steps related to the number of steps to do (or elements to process) or as elapsed and estimated time. Often, progress bars are used for visualizing the progress state.
In order to support different types of progress display, the progress message passes the number of processed elements or steps in iPosition64. The maximum number of steps or elements is passed in iMaximum64. The maximum number of steps might be estimated and updated with each progress message.
In order to provide application specific progress display, the function may be overloaded in the application context.
