Unfortunately, this isn't foolproof. If the user clicks in the field
when it's empty, you'll remove your gray text. If they then click
away before entering something, you won't get an endEditing, so you
won't restore your gray text.
Well i use my search field in a toolbar and restoring the gray text
work event if the user did not enter anything
Also, if the field is the only one in the tab loop, pressing tab when
the field is empty will cause an endEditing (so the gray text is
restored), but the same field will be selected again without a
becomeFirstResponder, so now the user enters gray text.
I don't have a tab group so i can't say...
In the program i have i never had the control not behave as expected,
but again that control is in a toolbar, which is different that if it
was in a window i guess
