change the toolStripStatusLabel text fromfunction of class

Question

Anyone knows how can I change the toolStripStatusLabel text which is in the main form, from the function of one class_
Means that when this function in the class is invoked and run into catch, inside catch there should change the text of the toolStripStatusLabel.
Any idea how to do that _ thanks a lot!public void AA()

{

try

{

}

catch

{

this.toolstripstatuslabel4.Text = "xxx";//wanted text }

}

But I can not do like this because it says> the name does not exist in the current context...
Any idea how to do that _ thanks a lot!

Create a public method in the main form that will update the status message: public void UpdateStatusLabel1( string statusMessage) { toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = statusMessage; } Then call it from the child form when you need to set the text: private void button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { Form1 parent = (( Form1 ) this .MdiParent); parent.UpdateStatusLabel1( Ciamar a tha thu? ); }
