New to C# MDI question

[meh]

I am using some existing VB projects as templates to learn C#. One of them
is a MDI app. There are status messages from the child forms that write to
a statusbar panel on the main MDI form.

Sorry hit the wrong key.....
The question is how do I make the child know that the statusbar is declared
as public????
