StatusStrip Control Overview
A xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusStrip control displays information about an object being viewed on a xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form, the object's components, or contextual information that relates to that object's operation within your application. Typically, a xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusStrip control consists of xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripStatusLabel objects, each of which displays text, an icon, or both. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusStrip can also contain xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDownButton, xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripSplitButton, and xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripProgressBar controls.
The default xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusStrip has no panels. To add panels to a xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusStrip, use the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItemCollection.AddRange%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType method.
There is extensive support for handling xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusStrip items and common commands in Visual Studio.
Also see StatusStrip Items Collection Editor and StatusStrip Tasks Dialog Box.
Although xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusStrip replaces and extends the xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar control of previous versions, xref:System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar is retained for both backward compatibility and future use if you choose.
