meaning that the text scrolls in the status bar at the bottom of the form

try this following code (needed timer and statusbar with 2 panels), text to scrolling is from StatusBar panel 2 text :

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
  Dim text As String
  text = StatusBar1.Panels.Item(0).Text
