All,
I've been playing around with the new beta express version and noticed they have changed a few components. I am having some trouble with the new statusstrip and toolstrippanel components. With the new status strip, you can "assign" various panels to it but I have been unable to determine how to hide those panels and/or display the text property for the statusstrip itself.
With the old statusbar it would look like:
StatusBar.ShowPanels = true/false
The new statusstrip component does not include this property anywhere.
And for the text on the new statusstrip there is absolutuely a property for text but
...StatusStrip.Text = "Why won't this display on my StatusStrip ! "
As a side note, the documentation for these new components is very scarce and I can't seem to find much about them.
Any suggestions

Use Properties window's Items property to add StatusLabel obect, name it whatever (say _MyStatusLabel).
Then, you can do
_MyStatusLabel.Text = "Hello World";
