A simple google with all these keywords can provide you all the details. The only piece worth answering is the difference between ToolStrip and StatusStrip, so here it is:

Typically a ToolStrip has buttons along the top for quick access to features in the app, whereas a StatusStrip has a series of labels and possibly a loading progress bar down at the bottom. Naturally I wouldn't use a ToolStrip for notifying a user of something the app's doing and I wouldn't use a StatusStrip for quick access to app features (like New, Open, Save, Print, etc...) but it all depends on the app's design and what works for the user.

All the best.
