这应该足以解决问题(用你想要的极限替换4)。只要确保在IB中添加委托。

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
     NSString *newString = [textField.text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:string];
     return (newString.length<=4);
}

我发现这个方法又快又简单

- (IBAction)backgroundClick:(id)sender {
    if (mytext.length <= 7) {
        [mytext resignFirstResponder];
    } else {
        UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Too Big" 
                                                        message:@"Please Shorten Name"
                                                       delegate:nil 
                                              cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel"
                                              otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [alert show];
        [alert release];
    }
}

使用接口构建器，您可以在任何函数中链接并获得“编辑更改”的事件。 现在你可以检查长度

- (IBAction)onValueChange:(id)sender 
{
    NSString *text = nil;
    int MAX_LENGTH = 20;
    switch ([sender tag] ) 
    {
        case 1: 
        {
            text = myEditField.text;
            if (MAX_LENGTH < [text length]) {
                myEditField.text = [text substringToIndex:MAX_LENGTH];
            }
        }
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }

}

现在你想要多少字符，只要给值就行了

 - (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range   replacementString:(NSString *)string {
     NSUInteger newLength = [textField.text length] + [string length] - range.length;
     return (newLength > 25) ? NO : YES;
  }

(BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
    NSString *newString = [textField.text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:string];

    if ([txt_name.text length]>100)
    {
        return NO;
    }

    return YES;
}

这限制了字符的数量，但也确保您可以粘贴字段，直到最大限制。

- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView
{
    NSString* str = [textView text];
    str = [str substringToIndex:MIN(1000,[str length])];
    [textView setText:str];

    if([str length]==1000) {
        // show some label that you've reached the limit of 1000 characters
    }
}
