效果:

描述:
类似html标签里input标签里的placeHolder属性,控件继承TextBox,拥有一个描述提示信息的字段_txtPlaceHolder,重写了消息处理函数WndProc,如果windows送出来的消息是绘制控件,就开始绘制,这里要注意的是TxtPlaceHolder的Set方法里的this.Invalidate();这个是如果控件绘制失败,将重绘绘制,如果没有这句代码,拖动这个控件到窗体上,控件会报异常。
异常:

原因:
经过我的实验,我发现只要为_txtPlaceHolder这个字段赋个不为null的初始值后去掉”this.Invalidate();“这句,程式也能运行。原因是_txtPlaceHolder.Length > 0
代码:
public sealed class MyCustomTextBox:TextBox { private const int WM_PAINT = 0x000F; private string _txtPlaceHolder=""; [Category("自定义属性"), Description("文本框里的提示文字"), DefaultValue("请在此输入"), Browsable(true)] public string TxtPlaceHolder { get { return _txtPlaceHolder; } set { if (value == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("value"); _txtPlaceHolder = value; this.Invalidate(); } } protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) { base.WndProc(ref m); if (m.Msg == WM_PAINT && !this.Focused && (this.TextLength == 0) && (_txtPlaceHolder.Length > 0)) { TextFormatFlags tff = (TextFormatFlags.EndEllipsis | TextFormatFlags.NoPrefix | TextFormatFlags.Left | TextFormatFlags.Top | TextFormatFlags.NoPadding); using (Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics()) { Rectangle rect = this.ClientRectangle; rect.Offset(4, 1); TextRenderer.DrawText(g, _txtPlaceHolder, this.Font, rect, SystemColors.GrayText, tff); } } } }
