StatusBarControl Binding MVVM Pattern in winform

Question

I am trying to make winform in to MVVM pattern.

I am using

public ControlBindingsCollection DataBindings { get; }

in System.Windows.Forms and

public abstract class ObservableObject : INotifyPropertyChanged, INotifyPropertyChanging  

in Microsoft.Toolkit.Mvvm.ComponentModel

For normal control like radion button or button it is very easy for binding view and model together.

_control.radioButton.DataBindings.Add(
  "Checked", 
  model, 
  nameof(model.function_name), 
  true, 
  DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);

I have some problem with Binding System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar.StatusBarPanel.Text.

I can not bind Text in StatusBarPanelCollection and StatusBarPanelCollection is in StatusBar control.

public class viewmodel : ObservableObject
{
    private view _viewControl;
    private Model _model;

    public MainFormControlState(Model model, View view)
    {
        _view = view;
        _model = model;
   
    }

    private void ViewModelBindings()
    {
     _view.radioButton.DataBindings.Add("Checked", model, nameof(model.function_name), true, 
     DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);

        veiw.statusBar.Panels[1].Text.DataBindings() // This binding does not work because Text is string;
    }
}

Well, as the documentation very clearly tells you:

This class is not available in .NET 5 and later versions. Use the StatusStrip control instead, which replaces and extends the StatusBar control.

And indeed, if you look at StatusStrip, it does have a DataBindings property.
