First insert a status strip in your project. You will find it in the toolbox in the "menus and toolbars" tab.
Then insert a status label. by clicking on the icon that appears when you put the mouse pointer on the status bar.
Insert a progress bar the same way as the status label.
You can change the text of the Status label the same way as a normal label.
For example. When the user presses the go button the text changes to Loading "The Url". and when i'ts done with loading it changes to Done.
You can put more thing. For example when it could not load the page you can put. Page could not be loaded.
The progress bar:
Private Sub WebBrowser1_ProgressChanged(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserProgressChangedEventArgs) _
Handles WebBrowser1.ProgressChanged
ToolStripProgressBar1.Maximum = e.MaximumProgress
ToolStripProgressBar1.Value = e.CurrentProgress
End Sub
Past this code in your program's. Here the name of the webbrowser is WebBrowser1 and the name of the progressbar is ToolStripProgressBar1. These are the defualt names for the first object.
