Use a ToolStripPanel to hold one or more ToolStrip, MenuStrip, StatusStrip or user-defined controls.
You might find that one or more ToolStripPanel controls meet the needs of your application better than a ToolStripContainer if you do not need the four panels and the central ToolStripContentPanel.
Each ToolStripPanel is expandable and collapsible.
The following code example demonstrates how to use ToolStripPanel controls with a multiple document interface (MDI).
