"MODE : BUTTON1 ONCLICK"

My problem here , is I dono how to set the status bar panel text from my class function.

First, you need to make your status bar public instead of private.

Next, you need to pass a reference of the form to your class. So in your class constructor, just put something like:
Public MyClass(callingForm As Form1)


When you create the class, include a reference of the form with it.
Dim myClass As MyClass = New MyClass(Me)

Then in MyClass, you can use your forms public status bar.
callingForm.StatusBar1.Text = "Whatever"

Basically it comes down to the fact that you need a reference of the form object in your class somehow.
