Overlaying text on a textbox

I need to overlay the word 'VOID' over a textbox but in a semi transparent way so the text in the textbox underneath 'VOID' can still be seen.

I have tried using various controls with no luck and there is no paint event for the textbox.

I am open to any way this can be done including not so elegent solutions.

Thanks

Although the textbox doesn't have a paint event i'd found a solution.
All you paint code must be done inside the Draw Sub.
The code inside the Draw sub is just a example.

Code:

---

DebuggerDisplay("Name = {Name} Text = {Text}")> _
Public Class TextBoxEnabledColor
            Inherits TextBox

Const WM_PAINT = &HF

<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> _
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
  MyBase.WndProc(m)
  If m.Msg = WM_PAINT Then
      Draw()
  End If
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Draw()
Dim RctControl As Rectangle
Dim StfControl As StringFormat = New StringFormat
Dim GrpControl As Graphics

GrpControl = Graphics.FromHwnd(Me.Handle)
GrpControl.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, Me.DisplayRectangle)
If Me.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Right Then
  StfControl.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far
  GrpControl.DrawString(Me.Text, Me.Font, Brushes.Black, Me.DisplayRectangle.Right, 1, StfControl)
Else
  StfControl.Alignment = StringAlignment.Near
  GrpControl.DrawString(Me.Text, Me.Font, Brushes.Black, Me.DisplayRectangle.Left, 1, StfControl)
End If

End Sub

End Class
