I've created a timer which makes a textbox's text appear to be moving from left to right, how can I make it look smoother?

So far it does what I want, but the movement doesn't look right.
Timer internal is 100

Code:

VB
Public Class Form1
    Dim CurrentName As String = String.Empty

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        CurrentName = "I'm looking for somehelp with this :-) Hope everyone's days going well"
        CurrentName = CurrentName + "          "
    End Sub

    Private Sub RotateTextbox_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RotateTextbox.Tick
        If Not CurrentName = String.Empty Then
                Dim FirstLetterCPN As String = CurrentName.Substring(0, 1)
                CurrentName = CurrentName.Substring(1, CurrentName.Length - 1) & FirstLetterCPN
        End If
        TextBox1.Text = CurrentName
    End Sub
End Class

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
