How do I fill an empty textbox with default text?

I wish implement a TextBox item in my winform with a default text, like the search textbox in the web (also like the search in this page, on the top right corner), with a gray text that will be erased and replaced when I start to write, or just when I focus on...

thanks Hans! I didn't know how search – ghiboz Mar 17 '12 at 10:30 — ghiboz, Mar 17 '12 at 10:30

Have a look at this library:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/18858/Fully-themed-Windows-Vista-Controls (Look at the CueTextBox)

It uses standard Windows API instead of custom drawing. This way yout TextBox will look better on all OS.
