What controls can be added to a status bar?

[Helmut Giese]

Hello out there,
I would like to add a combobox to a status bar, but haven't found a
way. I am aware that usually a status bar is kind of a "passive"
component and therefore void of any active control.

However, there _exists_ a ToolStripDropDownButton (which makes its
associated items "drop up"), so allowing some user activity on the
status bar is apparently considered acceptable.
Now a combobox would be so much nicer ...

Any idea will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Helmut Giese

You could make your own with a panel, label, Combo Box etc. Or use a
Toolstrip with a label, Combo Box etc.

Arrrgh,

Thanks Jeff.
