In many cases, a TextBox with an easy Placeholder property would be very helpful especially when you want the user to filter a ListView or ListBox by search terms.

So, I never found a really good one. I know there exists a very easy method with only one SendMessage method, but I don't like it because the placeholder is hard to differentiate with the actually typed text and I don't like these message things very much, too many things can go wrong.

Now I created my own control and my destination is that it is very easy to use.

I did not create this control, I packaged it up for NuGet because it is awsome. Here are the sources: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/589115/TextBox-with-Placeholder
