Re yogeshptl's answer: Using static because you don't understand how to implement events is not a good solution.

you can easily solve this problem.
you create a public method in mdiparent form that changes statustrip text
like that
void ChangeText(String s)
{
//code for change text.
}

create a static object of mdiparent
eg.
public static MDIParent1 objMDIParent1;

initialise it on form load event
objMDIParent1=this;

and
call ChangeText method on child form
eg

MDIParent1 .objMDIParent1.ChangeText ("Some Tex");
