Hello. I am creating a Web browser in Visual Basic.NET and I want to add a status strip (like in IE and Firefox) and I want to add in a media player but I don't know how to. Also, I am trying to add a feature when you click a button and the Browser is minimized to the System Tray. Could someone please help me?

Hello Sir

so u r making web browser and u want to fill progress bar like IE ok...

If U r using WebBrowser Control then use ProgressChanged Event as follow :

Private Sub WebBrowser1_ProgressChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserProgressChangedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.ProgressChanged
       ProgressBar.Max = e.MaximumProgress
       ProgressBar.Value = e.CurrentProgress
End Sub

Also, you are not creating a web browser. You are creating a wrapper for Internet Explorer.

Yer basically Xav is right... You see many people saying they are creating one but it is basically a copy of IE.

It can perhaps be considered as an "interface" that controls Internet Explorer.

If you want a real challenge, write a program that parses HTML and renders it. You'll probably end up with a better rendering engine than IE's.
