Remarks

MenuItem components and everything derived from ToolStripItem (.NET 2.0) and Control are extended with the StatusBarText and ShowAsBlank properties with the following exceptions: Form, Label, PictureBox, ProgressBar, ScrollBar, Splitter, StatusBar, ToolBar, ToolStrip (.NET 2.0) and controls derived from them. The Form contain controls and the other controls cannot receive the focus needed to display the text so there is no point in giving them status bar text. The exception to the above rule is LinkLabel which can receive the focus and thus can be extended. ToolStripItem components are only supported when built for use with .NET 2.0.
