Good old static globals (remember vb?)

WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    static Label statusMessageLabel;
    public static string StatusText { set { statusMessageLabel.Text = value; } }

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        statusMessageLabel = label1;

        // from anywhere ->
        Form1.StatusText = "a message";
    }
}

}
