Failed to add panel error setting ToolTipText

[Guest]

Has anybody ever encountered a "Failed to add panel to native status bar
control" InvalidOperationException when setting the ToolTipText property of a
status bar panel?

I seem to be having this problem in a little app I wrote in VB.Net, but it
seems to be a threading issue. I have a running thread that uses a delegate
to display a status, like in MSDN Magazine March 2005 issue's Advanced
Basics. After this thread has finished, and another one is started later,
and when this new thread attempts to set the ToolTipText (through the
delegate, of course), I receive this error. It looks like I may have found a
bug in the Framework, but I'm not sure...

Hi Dave,

Can you show us some sample code snippet to reproduce this problem?
Currently, with your post description it is hard for us to reproduce out
the problem, so we still can not confirm the issue for you. I will wait
for your further feedback. Thanks
