Web browser loading property

[g62msdnatll]

PLATFORM: Any web browser including: IE, Mozilla, and Firefox running in
Windows XP, code in .NET C#

1) Given a System.Diagnostics.Process corresponding to the browser process,
is there a property that will tell you if the browser is currently loading a
page? The Status property is always "Wait" and the WaitReason property
doesn't seem to reveal the information I'm looking for.
2) Is there an interface all browsers implement that might expose
browser-specific properties?

GOAL: To determine if a browser is loading a page.

Hi

1) I do not think Process can tell if a webbrowser has loaded a page,
because the Process is a managed wrap of win32 Process, it contains the
information about the common process, not a specified a webbrowser process.

2) I am not familar with Mozilla, and Firefox. For IE, it has specifiled
property to tell us the information.
