You can't use a loop for that: when an event is raised your handler is called and nothing else happens until your event handler hits the return statement (or the end of the method) - and that very much include display updates!

So reading the lines in a loop does nothing useful, because the Paint event isn't actioned until after the last line has been displayed - so the only thing your user will ever see is the last line!

If you want to do that, you will need to set up a Timer (with an Interval that says how long you want each line displayed for) and kick it off in your button Click event.
Inside the Timer.Tick handler, copy just one line to the textbox, and set up for the next by moving an index on one. Then exit (remembering to cancel the timer when you run out of lines).
