To assign a Theme-class to the control.
The Progress Indicator can be determinate (Type=1) or indeterminate (Type=0). Determinate indicators show the progress of the processing, while indeterminate ones don't inform you about the status during the process. There is an enumerated domain for this purpose (ProgressIndicatorType).

When a Progress Indicator is shown inside a composite block, an implicit call to the Hide method is automatically added at the end of the event. This is required since the composite block may be canceled by any failing action, and then the Progress must be automatically hidden. Anyway, it is recommended to always add the call to the Hide method to dismiss the Progress where it should be dismissed (according to the application logic).
Note that this implicit call to the Hide() method is not added when the Progress is shown from generated code (like when shown from an Offline Procedure).
It does not have any.
The progress indicator for web applications has the same requirements as the Server.Socket external object because they both use web sockets. See Progress Indicator requirements for Web.
