I HIGHLY SUGGEST you go buy an introductory book on Visual Basic .NET programming at the local book store.

You want the text to appear in a textbox one character at a time just as though someone were typing it in. You need a function to do that. Pass the text and the textbox into the function.

   
 Friend Sub GhostTyper(ByVal TextBox As TextBox, ByVal sText As String)

        For I As Integer = 0 To (sText.Length - 1)
            TextBox.Text = TextBox.Text & sText.Substring(I, 1)
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(150)
            TextBox.Refresh()   'you need to refresh after each character for it to actually show up
        Next

    End Sub

You can adjust the sleep time for faster or slower entry, or even add a parameter to pass the speed in if you like.
