Ok, that works.
I hadn't known you would put a label inside the statusStrip control, but, yes,
it now does work.

I got it figured out in Visual Basic Express 2008. The status bar objects
should be independent from the language. I think the trick is that status bars
have become more complex, such as in Internet Explorer or Word. They not only
contain status text, they might also have buttons or a progress bar. First you
need to place a StatusBar object docked to the bottom of the window. I called
my StatusBar, "scStatusLine". Then you need to place elements in the status
line. I placed a label, to place my text, and a progress bar. I called the
label, "scStatusLabel". Then to display text in the status line, I use a VB
statement like:
scStatusLabel.Text = "Starting OCR"
I hope this helps.

Hi there
One thing haven't really managed to get working is implementing a status bar
on a standard windows form, and therefore in my version of scrabble am
currently working on, am sort of keeping focus on a read only text box, which
then contains my form of a status message, but I would prefer to implement a
real, useful status bar that could then be read by screenreaders etc.
Any sort of guidelines/standard procedures etc.?
TIA
