使用下面的扩展来设置UITextField和UITextView的最大字符长度。

斯威夫特4.0

    private var kAssociationKeyMaxLength: Int = 0
    private var kAssociationKeyMaxLengthTextView: Int = 0
    extension UITextField {


        @IBInspectable var maxLength: Int {
            get {
                if let length = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &kAssociationKeyMaxLength) as? Int {
                    return length
                } else {
                    return Int.max
                }
            }
            set {
                objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &kAssociationKeyMaxLength, newValue, .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN)
                addTarget(self, action: #selector(checkMaxLength), for: .editingChanged)
            }
        }

        @objc func checkMaxLength(textField: UITextField) {
            guard let prospectiveText = self.text,
                prospectiveText.count > maxLength
                else {
                    return
            }

            let selection = selectedTextRange

            let indexEndOfText = prospectiveText.index(prospectiveText.startIndex, offsetBy: maxLength)
            let substring = prospectiveText[..<indexEndOfText]
            text = String(substring)

            selectedTextRange = selection
        }
    }

UITextView

extension UITextView:UITextViewDelegate {


        @IBInspectable var maxLength: Int {
            get {
                if let length = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &kAssociationKeyMaxLengthTextView) as? Int {
                    return length
                } else {
                    return Int.max
                }
            }
            set {
                self.delegate = self

                objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &kAssociationKeyMaxLengthTextView, newValue, .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN)
            }
        }

        public func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
            checkMaxLength(textField: self)
        }
        @objc func checkMaxLength(textField: UITextView) {
            guard let prospectiveText = self.text,
                prospectiveText.count > maxLength
                else {
                    return
            }

            let selection = selectedTextRange

            let indexEndOfText = prospectiveText.index(prospectiveText.startIndex, offsetBy: maxLength)
            let substring = prospectiveText[..<indexEndOfText]
            text = String(substring)

            selectedTextRange = selection
        }
    }

你可以在下面设置限制。

为了完成八月的回答，建议函数的一个可能实现(参见UITextField的委托)。

我没有测试domness代码，但我的代码不会卡住，如果用户达到了限制，它与一个新的字符串兼容，取代一个更小或等于一个。

-(BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {
    //limit the size :
    int limit = 20;
    return !([textField.text length]>limit && [string length] > range.length);
}

Swift 4 + 2。

通过实现UITextFieldDelegate方法

ViewController: class MyViewController: UIViewController { let MAX_LENGTH = 256 @IBOutlet weak var myTextField: UITextField! override viewDidLoad() { self.myTextField.delegate = self } } Delegate: extension MyViewController: UITextFieldDelegate { func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool { let userText = textView.text ?? "" var newText = "" if range.length > 0 { let txt = NSString(string: userText) if txt.length > 0 { newText = txt.replacingCharacters(in: range, with: text) } } else { newText = userText + text } return newText.count <= MAX_LENGTH } }

(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;
}

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;
  }
