Swift 2.0版本:

let paddingView: UIView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 5, 20))
textField.leftView = paddingView
textField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always;

我发现使用不可编辑的UITextView并设置contenttoffset要容易得多

uiTextView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(8, 7);

只是UITextField的子类，像这样:

@implementation DFTextField


- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return CGRectInset(bounds, 10.0f, 0);
}

- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return [self textRectForBounds:bounds];
}


@end

这增加了10点的水平填充两边。

一个Swift 3版本的Xcode >6，在那里你可以在接口生成器/故事板编辑插入值。

import UIKit

@IBDesignable
class FormTextField: UITextField {

    @IBInspectable var inset: CGFloat = 0

    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: inset, dy: inset)
    }

    override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return textRect(forBounds: bounds)
    }

}

你可以使用分类。设置左填充和右填充

UITextField+Padding.h

@interface UITextField (Padding)
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat paddingValue;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat leftPadding;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat rightPadding;

//overwrite
-(CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds;
-(CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds;
@end

UITextField+Padding.m

#import "UITextField+Padding.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>

CGFloat offset_Left=0;
CGFloat offset_Right=0;

    offset_Right=offset_Left;
}else{
    if (self.leftPadding>0){
        offset_Left=self.leftPadding;
    }
    if (self.rightPadding>0){
        offset_Right=self.rightPadding;
    }
}

if (offset_Left>0||offset_Right>0) {
    return CGRectMake(bounds.origin.x+ offset_Left ,bounds.origin.y ,
                      bounds.size.width- (offset_Left+offset_Right), bounds.size.height-2 );
 }else{
    return bounds;
 }
}



-(CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    return [self textRectForBounds:bounds];
}
#pragma clang diagnostic pop


#pragma maek -setter&&getter
- (CGFloat)paddingValue
{
    return [objc_getAssociatedObject(self,&TAG_Left_RightPaddingKey) floatValue];
}
-(void)setPaddingValue:(CGFloat)paddingValue
{
    objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &TAG_Left_RightPaddingKey, @(paddingValue), OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}

-(CGFloat)leftPadding
{
    return [objc_getAssociatedObject(self,&TAG_LeftPaddingKey) floatValue];
}

-(void)setLeftPadding:(CGFloat)leftPadding
{
    objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &TAG_LeftPaddingKey, @(leftPadding), OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}

-(CGFloat)rightPadding

你可以像这样设置填充 self.phoneNumTF.paddingValue f = 10.; 或 self.phoneNumTF.leftPadding f = 10.;

布洛迪的方法对我很有效。我不得不在文本框上添加侧视图，并添加额外的填充。因此，通过实现自定义UIEdgeInsets属性到UITextField子类，我已经成功实现了任务。我将在所有项目中使用这个新子类。
