Several ways. Try creating a container class which has a label, a timer, and custom methods and properties to set the text, scroll speed, etc. At the Timer() event, populate the label with a SUBSTR() of the text until it's exhausted, pause a bit, and start back over at character one.

To get fancy, add other timers to control font and color changes, or to oscillate the class position for attention getting, etc.
