Abstract
.NET 2.0 does something that’s more than a little surprising with its toolbar, status bar, and menu controls—it tosses out the .NET 1.x standbys and replaces them with an entirely new model. The old controls like the ToolBar, StatusBar, and MainMenu are still available (rightclick the toolbox and select Choose Items to hunt for them), but they’re intended only for backward compatibility. Now, a new set of classes that includes System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip and two other derived classes (MenuStrip and StatusStrip) provides a completely new model for toolbars and menus.
