A RichTextBox contains a FlowDocument. You have to add a FlowDocument of some kind to the RichTextBox in order to get default text in the document.

To get the text to disappear when you click on it, simply handle the GotFocus event, and reset the FlowDocument.

Try doing something like this:

<RichTextBox GotFocus="RichTextBox_GotFocus">
    <RichTextBox.Document>
        <FlowDocument>
            <FlowDocument.Blocks>
                <Paragraph>
                    Type what you want
                </Paragraph>
            </FlowDocument.Blocks>
        </FlowDocument>
    </RichTextBox.Document>
</RichTextBox>

And in the .cs file:

private void RichTextBox_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    ((RichTextBox)sender).Document = new FlowDocument();
}
