SetAmountTotal
Sets a value representing the total amount of work to be completed by an asynchronous process.
void SetAmountTotal (in long amtTotal);
amtTotal
The total amount to be done by the process.

DISCUSSION
The SetAmountTotal method sets a numeric value that represents the total amount of work to be performed by the process and broadcasts the change to all attached progress receivers. The amount done, set by the SetAmountDone method, is specified relative to the total amount as set by the SetAmountTotal method.
The value in the amtTotal parameter is a numeric indication of the total amount of work to be performed. For example, consider the process of downloading 200 bytes of data. In this case, the total amount is 200.
If you subclass CyberProgressBroadcaster and override this method, your override must call its inherited method.
