Button inside a WinForms textbox

Question

Do WinForms textboxes have any properties that make an embedded button, at the end of the box, possible?

Something like the favorites button on the Chrome address bo

Just a small expansion on the accepted solution, to get the button to look and act properly a few tweaks are needed. Here are tweaks for a search box:

    private static readonly int SEARCH_BUTTON_WIDTH = 25;

    private void ConfigureSearchBox()
    {
        var btn = new Button();
        btn.Size = new Size(SEARCH_BUTTON_WIDTH, searchBox.ClientSize.Height + 2);
        btn.Dock = DockStyle.Right;
        btn.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
        btn.Image = Properties.Resources.Find_5650;
        btn.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat;
        btn.ForeColor = Color.White;
        btn.FlatAppearance.BorderSize = 0;
        btn.Click += btn_Click;
        searchBox.Controls.Add(btn);
        this.AcceptButton = btn;
        // Send EM_SETMARGINS to prevent text from disappearing underneath the button
        SendMessage(searchBox.Handle, 0xd3, (IntPtr)2, (IntPtr)(btn.Width << 16));
    }

    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")]
    private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg, IntPtr wp, IntPtr lp);

    private void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("hello world");
    }
