means its scroll in status bar or in other place?

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
  StatusBar1.Panels.Item(0).Text = text.Substring(1) & text.Substring(0, 1)
End Sub

i post the screenshot too.
