    TextBox_SearchBar.Focus();
}

这将创建两个文本框，一个用于接收水印的字段，另一个用于水印。接收水印的字段可以是ComboBox或其他控件(只要您获得正确的对齐并相应地获得焦点)。

水印必须是一个文本框或其他控制，可以获得焦点(TextBlock不能获得焦点，因为我学会了艰难的方式)。当水印文本框得到焦点，它隐藏自己，并给予访问其他文本框。

如果你想在搜索栏文本框失去焦点后重新显示水印，只需添加一个LostFocus事件处理程序到TextBox_SearchBar检查输入并切换TextBox_Watermark可见性为隐藏或可见，相应地。

如果水印的可见性不是取决于控件的焦点状态，而是取决于用户是否输入了任何文本，您可以将John Myczek的答案(从OnWatermarkChanged向下)更新为

static void OnWatermarkChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e) {
    var textbox = (TextBox)d;
    textbox.Loaded += UpdateWatermark;
    textbox.TextChanged += UpdateWatermark;
}

static void UpdateWatermark(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
    var textbox = (TextBox)sender;
    var layer = AdornerLayer.GetAdornerLayer(textbox);
    if (layer != null) {
        if (textbox.Text == string.Empty) {
            layer.Add(new WatermarkAdorner(textbox, GetWatermark(textbox)));
        } else {
            var adorners = layer.GetAdorners(textbox);
            if (adorners == null) {
                return;
            }

            foreach (var adorner in adorners) {
                if (adorner is WatermarkAdorner) {
                    adorner.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;
                    layer.Remove(adorner);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

如果文本框在显示表单或绑定到Text属性时自动获得焦点，这就更有意义了。

同样，如果你的水印总是一个字符串，你需要水印的风格来匹配文本框的风格，那么在Adorner做:

contentPresenter = new ContentPresenter {
    Content = new TextBlock {
        Text = (string)watermark,
        Foreground = Control.Foreground,
        Background = Control.Background,
        FontFamily = Control.FontFamily,
        FontSize = Control.FontSize,
        ...
    },
    ...
}

您可以创建水印，可以添加到任何具有附加属性的文本框。下面是附件属性的来源:

现在你可以像这样把水印放在任何文本框上:

<AdornerDecorator>
   <TextBox x:Name="SearchTextBox">
      <controls:WatermarkService.Watermark>
         <TextBlock>Type here to search text</TextBlock>
      </controls:WatermarkService.Watermark>
   </TextBox>
</AdornerDecorator>

水印可以是你想要的任何东西(文本、图像……)。除了适用于文本框，这个水印也适用于组合框和项目控件。

此代码改编自这篇博客文章。

CodeProject上有一篇关于如何在“3行XAML”中做到这一点的文章。

<Grid Background="{StaticResource brushWatermarkBackground}">
  <TextBlock Margin="5,2" Text="Type something..."
             Foreground="{StaticResource brushForeground}"
             Visibility="{Binding ElementName=txtUserEntry, Path=Text.IsEmpty,
                          Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" />
  <TextBox Name="txtUserEntry" Background="Transparent"
           BorderBrush="{StaticResource brushBorder}" />
</Grid>

好吧，它可能不是3行XAML格式的，但它非常简单。

需要注意的一点是:文本上的IsEmpty属性不是string的属性，而是ICollectionView的属性，并且可以显式地设置为Path=Text.(componentModel:ICollectionView.IsEmpty) (with xmlns:componentModel="clr-namespace:System.ComponentModel;assembly=WindowsBase")。这里有详细的解释。

Telerik有一个控件叫做RadWatermarkTextBox专门解决这个问题。如果您正在使用Telerik控件，只需按以下方式使用即可

<telerik:RadWatermarkTextBox
    Text="{Binding Path=MyTextBoxText}"
    WatermarkContent="Please enter some text" />

看看另一个简单的解决方案:

我专注于“得到专注”和“失去专注”事件。

XAML:

<TextBlock x:Name="DosyaİhtivaEdenDizinYansıması" Text="Hedef Dizin Belirtin" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" TextAlignment="Center" Foreground="White" Background="Transparent" Width="500" MinWidth="300" Margin="10,0,0,0" Opacity="0.7"/>
