It's not the browser control's responsibility to display the status bar. It just raises the events and Internet Explorer handles the events and displays the status messages in its own bar. If you want to show the progress messages of the browser control, you need to handle the "StatusTextChange" event, this event passes a Text parameter, this is the exact text that you see in the browser's status bar during different browser actions, just display it in the bottom of the form or you can use Status Bar Control in "Microsoft Windows Common Controls" to display a proper status Message..
Other useful events: _BeforeNavigate or _BeforeNavigate2 _DownloadBegin _DocumentComplete _NavigateError _TitleChange _NavigateComplete or _NavigateComplete2 These events are really helpful if you want to take full control of the browser.
