Yep.Using dotnet textbox
Example

rollout sbRollout "SearchBox" width:210 height:30
(
dotNetControl textboxctrl "TextBox" pos:[5,5] width:200 height:18

on sbRollout open do
(
textboxctrl.AcceptsReturn = true
textboxctrl.AcceptsTab = true
textboxctrl.WordWrap = false
textboxctrl.Multiline = false
textboxctrl.text = "Search..."
)
on textboxctrl keydown arg do
(
if (arg.keyvalue == 13) do textboxctrl.paste("\r\n");
)
on textboxctrl gotfocus arg do if textboxctrl.text == "Search..." do textboxctrl.text = ""
on textboxctrl lostfocus arg do if textboxctrl.text == "" do textboxctrl.text = "Search..."

)
createDialog sbRollout
