How to show separators in WinForm's StatusStrip control?

Hi,

Winforms has the new StatusStrip control that replaces StatusBar in
1.1. I've looked high and low but can't seem to find how to get
separators (|) in my status bar, eg

Info1 | Info2 | Info3 | Info4

where Infos 1 to 4 are StatusLabels.

Any takers?

The "Items Collection Editor" of the StatusStrip control doesn't allow
it, but you can call StatusStrip.Ite ms.Add(new Image()). The image
would be your separator as an embedded resource.

If there's another way to do it, I don't see it.

Set the border style to Etched and have bordersides Left, Right for the
object in the status strip. This creates the exact look.
