Re: Status Bar Marquee...Need Help!

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

vb.net Syntax (Toggle Plain 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
  StatusBar1.Panels.Item(0).Text = text.Substring(1) & text.Substring(0, 1)
End Sub
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
  StatusBar1.Panels.Item(0).Text = text.Substring(1) & text.Substring(0, 1)
End Sub

i post the screenshot too.
