Question

So I have a custom windows form with a tabbed browser. I want to be able to see the hoovered hyperlink in the status bar. I have searched everywhere but nothing yet.

I checked the MSDN under the web browser class which led me to the StatusTextChanged.

So in my code I have

wb.StatusTextChanged += MainWindow_StatusChange;

then

private void MainWindow_StatusChange(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
     this.toolStripStatusLabel2.Text = wb.StatusText;
}

Well, the tool.StripStatusLabel2.Text is empty.

Any help?

Answer 1

You have subscribed the wrong event.

Do this…

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
    wb.StatusTextChanged += new EventHandler(wb_StatusTextChanged);
    wb.Navigate("http://www.google.de");
}

void wb_StatusTextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.toolStripStatusLabel2.Text = ((WebBrowser) sender).StatusText;
}
