Found a piece of code on a non-active forum member's website.
I converted it into IWB.
It allows you to have a text prompt appear in an edit control.
When the edit control becomes active the prompt disappears.
I can think of several uses for it.

In order for it to work a manifest file for the exe is required.
The attached zip contains the source, exe and manifest files.

Very useful. Is a certain level of Windows required? I mean, will it work on XP?

It's my understanding that it works on XP although I can't test it..
