How do I make a textbox auto scroll from left to right ?


Basically my problem is the text being entered into the textbox is too long to be visible. So perfect workaround would be to have the textbox autoscroll from left to right at a reasonably slow rate, so as to work without being annoying.

Code So far:

VB
Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        TextBox1.Text = "This is a test message. Trying to figure out, how to get this textbox to autoscroll."
    End Sub
End Class
