You can use this property to indicate whether a System.Windows.Forms.StatusBarPanel displays text or whether the panel is managed as an owner-drawn System.Windows.Forms.StatusBarPanel. To determine when a System.Windows.Forms.StatusBarPanel needs to be drawn, create an event handler for the StatusBar.DrawItem event of the System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar control. The System.Windows.Forms.StatusBarDrawItemEventArgs passed as a parameter to an event handler of the StatusBar.DrawItem event enables you to determine which panel needs to be drawn. The System.Windows.Forms.StatusBarDrawItemEventArgs also provides a System.Drawing.Graphics object you can use to perform drawing tasks on the System.Windows.Forms.StatusBarPanel.
