• Show load mask on the viewport or the given control.
    Additionally the messages get queued within this function, so if a visible message gets hidden, the next one in the queue gets shown automatically.
    Queues exist for each individual control.
    The behaviour of the queues (FIFO, FILO) can be defined globally by using the setLoadMaskQueueMode function.

    If the load mask should be shown on the viewport and there is already an error dialog visible, the call to showLoadMask will be ignored.
    Also active load masks on the viewport are automatically hidden, when an error dialog is shown.

    Returns

    Id of the message created by this function.
    Can be used to hide this specific message again using hideLoadMask
