Adding label to menustrip

Is it possible to add a lable/toostriplabel to a menustrip in a c# winform? I can't find an option to add it dierctly.

I want to add something that describes the status of a program, but I don't want to use a status bar for space.

Simply ToolStripLabel is just a ToolStripItem and MenuStrip.Items is a collection of ToolStripItem so you can just add a ToolStripLabel to MenuStrip normally like this:

menuStrip1.Items.Add(new ToolStripLabel("Status"));

To control the distance between the ToolStripLabel and the Left-side ToolStripItem, you can set the Margin property of your ToolStripLabel, like this:

toolStripLabel1.Margin = new Padding(50,3,3,3);
