Where is the ToolStripLabel control?

I added a LinkLabel to a Form, and it works fine.

However, upon reading the documentation for LinkLabel , I discovered that it says:

"The ToolStripLabel control replaces and adds functionality to the Label and LinkLabel controls."

Alright, I think, I'll use that ToolStripLabel instead. So I go to the Toolbox and look for it... hmmm, it ain't there. Not even under "All Windows Forms". Ok, so I go to "Choose Items..." and search for it under .Net Framework Components. But alas, it ain't there either...

Anyone know how you're supposed to add one of these to a Windows form?

Once you got a toolstrip on your form, in design view, you can see an arrow on the toolstrip to add : button, combo, ... and label. this label is the toolstriplabel

Ahh, so you can only use it with a toolstrip - that explains it!

So the MS documentation is rubbish; the ToolStripLabel DOESN'T replace a LinkLabel, unless you happen to be using a toolstrip.
It might be kindof nice if the docs mentioned that - I've just wasted half an hour looking for it. :(
