The WebBrowser control does not show notifications such as:
- Downloading web page…
- Resolving proxy…
- Hyperlink URLs
You can quickly enable this by using the StatusTextChanged Event of the WebBrowser control. It is a two-step process:
Step 1: Attach an event handler to the Webbrowser’s StatusTextChanged event like this: myWebBrowser.StatusTextChanged += new EventHandler(myWebBrowser_StatusTextChanged);
Step 2: Use the Webbrowser’s StatusText property to retrieve the current status notification. Create the event handler.
private void myWebBrowser_StatusTextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { //get the current status text from the webbrowser control //and assign it to a control in the status bar. statusStrip1.Text = webBrowser1.StatusText; }
