BaseContext :: startProgress - Start progress display
The function is called in order to activate the progress display. In order to activate the application specific progress display, this function has to be overloaded in a user-defined context class which is typically assigned as application context to the process ( Application ::context() ).
The string passed in sMessageTitle contains a short description of the running activity. The number of expected to be processed is passed in jMaximum64 .
The way progress is displayed in console applications depends on option settings for SystemIO.Progress (see option reference).
In order to provide application specific progress display, the function may be overloaded in the application context.
