How to create a status bar for custom browser like IE status bar at the buttom?

Thanks in advance
 
I need a progress bar for my custom browser similar to IE. This is a bit different than for regular widows application. I cannot figure out how does my browser know when an html button was clicked(meaning response was sent) and show the progress of server response.

Any ideas how to do that?

Thanks in advance
 
There are too many unknowns to make a progress bar display accuratley. eg, your connection speed, the site's speed, the pages size.

Only way I can think of doing this to get it close is to try and get the websites size, then work out how much you have downloaded then show the progress bar to suit. Not to sure if its possible using the axbrowser (if your using it)

And to determine your click to another page, you might be able to create a handler to check when the site property has changed (if one doesn't already exist). Not sure of its actual name, but its the property you set to view a webpage and I assume you have already worked out how to view pages.
