A progress bar is displayed when the application is accessing a web service, but it doesn't prevent the user to click a control, I would like to implement something like a gray background, like the one in the login control. Thanks.

You can use the activity control.

This displays a progress animation and disables controls by overlaying a partially transparent background.

Thanks for the link, but although it acomplish what is needed, I found it a bit too complex to implement using my current knowledge of SL3.
I'm looking for something like a simple gray background using the exisiting SilverLight's ProgressBar

Depending on how you have layed out your UI you can do this quite simply.
In your LayoutRoot have a grid with 2 rows. The 1st row contains your normal layout. The 2nd row contains a border and within it a standard progress bar. Have the opacity set to 0 and the visibility collapsed.
When you need to display the progress set the opacity to say 0.25 and make the border visible. This will overlay the entire screen with a semi-transparent background and a progress bar ticking away.
