container.

Hi,

How to access a control in another form

There's a property for each control determining its visibility outside the
form class. It's 'private' by default, you can change it to 'internal' or
'public' for the control field to become visible outside the form class.
Or, declare a public property on the form class returning the reference to
the control in question.

how to make a form become a MDI container.

There's a dedicated property on the form serving just this purpose -
IsMdiContainer.

Could you please give me some sample code such as accessing a statusbar
control of a MDI parrent form in a MDI child form.
