Lets say for instance you have a webbrowser and you want the webbrowser url in the progressbar without using labels this is how you do it

Add a progressbar first of course
and then add a timer enable it and have it have an interval of 1
then double click it and put

Code: Select all

 {
                    Font SFont = new Font("Courier New", 8);
                    SolidBrush SBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);
                    Graphics g = progressBar1.CreateGraphics();
                    StringFormat SFormat = new StringFormat();
                    g.DrawString(Webbrowser1.url, SFont, SBrush, 5, 5, SFormat);
                    SFont.Dispose();
                    SBrush.Dispose();
                    g.Dispose();                       
                }

A progressbar has a paint event so you can just put the code into the paint.
By the way, if you create Graphics g over and over again it will cause a memory leak. You should dispose it or create it once outside the timer

SFont.dispose();
