String with Mark in C#

Question

I’m developing an application that passes some information to users who are running it. The main idea is to make an informative track, however I have two problems that should be simple, what I would like as soon as the words start to enter the left, they immediately appear on the right, as is the majority.

The code remains for further clarification.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApp1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            string text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(@"\\...\Texto de Exemplo.txt", Encoding.UTF7);

            label1.Text = text;

            label1.Left -= 7;

            if (label1.Left < 0 && (Math.Abs(label1.Left) > label1.Width))
            {
                label1.Left = this.Width;
            }

        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            label1.Left = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width;
            timer1.Start();

            int c = Screen.PrimaryScreen.BitsPerPixel;
            int w = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width;
            int h = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height;

            int altura, largura;
            altura = h - 77;
            largura = w - 10;

            Width = largura;

            Top = altura;
            Left = 4;

            string f;
            f = "teste";
        }
    }
}

Result obtained so far:

Answer 1

• In your Form, set the following properties:

  BackColor = 218; 255; 195;
  FormBorderStyle = None;
  Opacity = 70%;
  ShowInTaskbar = False;
  StartPosition = Manual;
  TopMost = True;
  Height = 50;
  

All these options can be changed by the window Properties of Visual Studio.

• Add a Timer (here called timer1) in the Form, and set the range to 50 milliseconds. Create the event Tick.

• Now, set the Form code to:

  public partial class FormMarquee : Form
  {
      public Font FonteCaption { get; set; } = new Font("Calibri", 16, FontStyle.Bold);
      public Color ColorCaption { get; set; } = Color.FromArgb(20, 74, 35);
      public int Interval { get { return timer1.Interval; } set { timer1.Interval = value; } }
      public string Caption { get; set; } = "Caption";
      int atualX;
      Graphics g;
  
      public FormMarquee()
      {
          InitializeComponent();
          SetStyle(ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, true);
          this.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width;
          this.Location = new Point(0, Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height - this.Height);
  
      }
  
      protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e)
      {
          base.OnShown(e);
  
          g = this.CreateGraphics();
  
          SizeF s = g.MeasureString(this.Caption, this.FonteCaption);
          atualX = (int)(this.Width - s.Width);
  
          timer1.Enabled = true;
      }
  
      private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          timer1.Enabled = false;
  
          g.Clear(this.BackColor);
  
          SizeF s = g.MeasureString(this.Caption, this.FonteCaption);
          int y = (int)((this.Height - s.Height) / 2);
          int startX = (int)(this.Width - s.Width);
          int limitX = (int)(s.Width * -1);
  
  
          g.DrawString(this.Caption, this.FonteCaption, new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(this.ColorCaption), new PointF(atualX, y));
  
          if (atualX < 0)
          {
              int x2 = this.Width + atualX;
              g.DrawString(this.Caption, this.FonteCaption, new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(this.ColorCaption), new PointF(x2, y));
          }
  
          atualX -= 10;
  
          if (atualX < limitX)
          {
              atualX = startX;
          }
  
          timer1.Enabled = true;
      }
  
  
  }
  

Utilizing:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    FormMarquee form = new FormMarquee();
    form.Caption = "<<- Exemplo Mensagem Marquee - Rodando... ";
    form.Show();
}

Upshot: (soon I put an animation with the result)

I could not solve some "winks" that the text gives, with more time I try to solve.
