Updating text in a ToolStripStatusLabel.

Hello, I have a bit of a situation here. I want to update the text in a toolstrip label from a different thread that it was created from. I've tried using Invoke but I get a compile error:

Error 1 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripStatusLabel' does not contain a definition for 'Invoke'

Obviously this means toolstrip labels can't use invoke.. So I was wondering what other way I could update text from a different thread.

You should be able to set the Text property on that instance of your ToolStripStatusLabel even though it was created on a different different thread. Get a handle on that instance and then assign the Text property to what you're looking for. For instance, if you ToolStringStatusLabel was called "tool," you could use the code below.

tool.Text = "Specify Text";
