Browser Control StatusBar/StatusText properties don't work

[Dan]

Using a standard status bar control and the VB browser control I want to be
able to display the URL of a link that is hovered over in the browser
control. Documentation indicates that the browser control was designed to
let you set the StatusBar property to true and then use the StatusText
property in the StatusTextChange event to get the URL and display it. But
the StatusText property isn't implemented so this does not work. Is there
no way to accomplish this using the Browser control?

Seems to work here ...

Private Sub WebBrowser1_StatusTextChange(ByVal Text As String)

StatusBar1.Panels(1).Text = Text

End Sub

I can't believe I missed that. I was using

StatusBar1.Panels(1).Text = WebBrowser1.StatusBar.StatusText

which generates runtime error "Method 'StatusText' of object 'IWebBrowser2'
failed"

Thanks!
