Remarks

A ToolStripStatusLabel represents an individual panel of a StatusStrip control. A ToolStripStatusLabel can contain text or an icon that reflects the status of an application. Use the ToolStripItemCollection class to find, add, or remove ToolStripStatusLabel objects.

Although ToolStripStatusLabel replaces and adds functionality to the StatusBarPanel control of previous versions, StatusBarPanel is retained for both backward compatibility and future use if you choose.

            // 
            toolStripStatusLabel1.BorderSides = ((System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripStatusLabelBorderSides)((((System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripStatusLabelBorderSides.Left | System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripStatusLabelBorderSides.Top)
                        | System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripStatusLabelBorderSides.Right)
                        | System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripStatusLabelBorderSides.Bottom)));

            toolStripStatusLabel1.IsLink = true;
            toolStripStatusLabel1.Name = "toolStripStatusLabel1";
            toolStripStatusLabel1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(246, 20);
            toolStripStatusLabel1.Spring = true;
            toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = "toolStripStatusLabel1";
            toolStripStatusLabel1.Alignment = ToolStripItemAlignment.Left;
            // Form1
            // 
            ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 273);
            Controls.Add(statusStrip1);
