I'm using the following style on a Textbox so that it has text and a background colour until someone tries to enter data into it. Works fine but my problem arises because it is a login screen and my other control is a Passwordbox which won't let me access the Password property (which is the equivalent to the Text property of the Textbox). Any advice on how I would work around this?
