You can manually make it happen. You can place your hint text as the default text. Also change the font to match the hint text. Then when focused on, have it revert to the normal font and clear it. Not as easy as .HintText = but it'll work.
Edit:
On a second thought, you could create and anchor a label for the hint text and just make it visible/not visible on focus.
