Including a text box on a toolbar

[CraigBest]

In VB6 I was able to set a text box into a toolbar, which I used as an indicator (flashed) when new task list items were found.

I'm working on upgrading the all to .NET and the upgrade wizard did not cover the Toolbar (or ImageList) controls. I am now trying to replace them with the equivalent .NET controls, but I can't seem to figure out how to tell the toolbar to host this text box the way I did under VB6.

Can anyone help me with this? Did I miss something in the methods and properties of the toolbar?

THanks in advance

Create a new textbox and add it to the controls collection of the toolbar

For example:

dim txt as new textbox
txt.text="my textbox"
txt.left=48
txt.top=4
me.toolbar1.controls.add(txt)
