Hi:

I'm using VS2005, I've create a winform with the following controls:

Add a ToolStripContainer
Set it to dock to the form (Fill)
Click in the top section.
Add a menu strip
Add a tool strip.
Add another tool strip.
Click in the bottom section.
Add a StatusStrip.

At runtime when i drag a tool strip from topToolStripPanel and drop it
into bottomToolstripPanel the toolStrip may dock to the bottom, i want
to avoid this, i want the StatusStrip always at the bottom, is there
any property for the StatusStrip so that it is always dock to the
bottom of the form ? the StatusStrip.Dock property seem doesn't work.

Please help
Thanks

Click to expand...

1) Add StatusStrip (docks bottom by default)
2) Add ToolStrip Container, dock fill
3) Add menu and toolstrips
4) Right-Click StatusStrip, click "Send To Back"
5) Run and test.
