Label that transitions text on change to display progress

It feels like I've searched the whole web, but I didn't really find anything that seems usefull to me. I wonder if there is any label control out there that "scrolls" the text while changing it. Something like Office 2010 does in the splash screen or WebMatrix 2 does while publishing content (you can see here).

So do you know any WinForms or WPF Control that behaves like this? Or can you give me some advice what I can do to achieve something similar on my own? Or can you at least give me a hint what to search for on the web?

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi - this might not be the answer that you are looking for, but you could build your own ContentControl with a couple of Storyboards and animate the text. This way it will provide the exact same look as in the video.

Here is a good example of Storyboards: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/364529/Animation-using-Storyboards-in-WPF
