.NET 2.0: ToolStripTextBox with Caption?

In a Winforms 2.0 application, I have a StatusStrip which hosts a
ToolStripDownDown item to display a small menu. The menu consists of
two checkable menu items and one ToolStripTextBox . Now I want to
display a simple caption on the left of the textbox. I cannot seem to
find an easy possiblity to do this, altough this seems a very common
scenario to me. After all, which programmer wants to just display a
textbox without any caption? Can somebody help me? Do I really have to
bake my own control inherited from ToolStripControlHost just for this?

Thanks for any help

StatusLabel is what you're after. Is one of the options to insert from
the StatusStrip.

Cheers

Hi Jeffrey, I'm really sorry but I didn't get any e-mail. Could you
perhaps post your reply again this time to urs"at"schmaz.ch, this goes
over another mail server. perhaps the junk mail filter of the first one
doesn't like your address, or something.
Thanks & greets urs
