You just need to repaint it into a new position each time. And don't forget to check whether the rightmost point is at the rightmost edge of the screen. It's all simple mathematics.

There is no such thing as a Move method on a label. You have to compute and set the Top and Left properties of the label control t move it to a new location.

To give it constant motion, you have to constantly compute and set those properties for each animation frame. You can create that illusion using the Timer from the Toolbox.
