Try this create a H1 tag in your HTML file and hover the mouse on that you can see the text placed in text box using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace WindowsApplication1 { public partial class Form5 : Form { public Form5() { InitializeComponent(); webBrowser1.DocumentCompleted += new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted); } void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e) { webBrowser1.Document.Body.MouseOver += new HtmlElementEventHandler(Body_MouseOver); } void Body_MouseOver(object sender, HtmlElementEventArgs e) { if (e.ToElement != null && e.ToElement.TagName == "H1" && e.ToElement.GetAttribute("processed") != "true") { string[] words = e.ToElement.InnerHtml.Split(' '); e.ToElement.InnerHtml = ""; for (int i = 0; i e.ToElement.InnerHtml += " " + words[i] + " "; foreach (HtmlElement el in e.ToElement.GetElementsByTagName("span")) el.MouseOver += new HtmlElementEventHandler(e_MouseOver); e.ToElement.SetAttribute("processed", "true"); } } void e_MouseOver(object sender, HtmlElementEventArgs e) { toolStripTextBox1.Text = e.ToElement.InnerText; } } }

This question was asked about a month ago in a different thread and there was very much work put into solving the problem. You really must look at that thread. I think however that it was not successful; there was not a good solution found. I am sure there is a solution but I don't know what it is and it is not easy to find.
