我们可以像这样设置文本框的范围。

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

这是处理UITextField最大长度的正确方法，它允许返回键退出辞职文本字段作为第一响应器，并让用户在达到限制时退格

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {
int MAX_LENGHT = 5;
    if([string isEqualToString:@"\n"])
    {
        [textField resignFirstResponder];
        return FALSE;
    }
    else if(textField.text.length > MAX_LENGHT-1)
    {
        if([string isEqualToString:@""] && range.length == 1)
        {
            return TRUE;
        }
        else
        {
            return FALSE;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        return TRUE;
    }
}

最好的方法是设置文本更改通知。在视图控制器方法的-awakeFromNib中，你需要:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(limitTextField:) name:@"UITextFieldTextDidChangeNotification" object:myTextField];

然后在同一个类中添加:

- (void)limitTextField:(NSNotification *)note {
    int limit = 20;
    if ([[myTextField stringValue] length] > limit) {
        [myTextField setStringValue:[[myTextField stringValue] substringToIndex:limit]];
    }
}

然后链接出口myTextField到你的UITextField，它将不让你添加任何字符后，你达到限制。一定要把这个添加到你的dealloc方法中:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:@"UITextFieldTextDidChangeNotification" object:myTextField];

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 } }

为了使它与任何长度的字符串剪切和粘贴工作，我建议将函数更改为如下内容:

#define MAX_LENGTH 20

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
    {
        NSInteger insertDelta = string.length - range.length;

        if (textField.text.length + insertDelta > MAX_LENGTH)
        {
           return NO; // the new string would be longer than MAX_LENGTH
        }
        else {
            return YES;
        }
    }

我想补充一下@sickp给出的答案。

在他的Swift代码中有一个问题，任何多字节文本(例如表情符号)都会出现。NSRange和String在Swift中是不兼容的，所以委托类将它们结合在一起是令人沮丧的。技巧是简单地转换String对象到NSString正确的解决方案，基于什么@sickp写，实际上是这样的:

func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {

    let currentText = (textField.text as NSString?) ?? NSString()
    let currentCharacterCount = currentText.length
    if range.length + range.location > currentCharacterCount {
        return false
    }
    let newLength = currentText.replacingCharacters(in: range, with: string).characters.count
    return newLength <= 25
}
