Textbox's description..?
You know, when you're in Windows 7 and you tap on the
start button, You see the search line. It says "Search files
or programs..." in agrey text, then for every letter you put
it disspares. It's called a text des, I think.. how do I make it?

Re: Textbox's description..?
Its known as a TextBox Watermark. But I don't think there is a built-in property in the framework right now for doing it so you'll have to code that functionality. Here are to example I found on the web, the second one is in C# but it's not to hard to translate to VB.NET.

example2
Edit : here's a third example in C# too.
