其他答案不处理用户可以从剪贴板粘贴长字符串的情况。如果我粘贴一个很长的字符串，它应该被截断，但显示出来。 在你的委托中使用这个:

static const NSUInteger maxNoOfCharacters = 5;

-(IBAction)textdidChange:(UITextField * )textField
{
NSString * text = textField.text;

if(text.length > maxNoOfCharacters)
{
    text = [text substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, maxNoOfCharacters)];
    textField.text = text;
}

// use 'text'

}

有通用的解决方案设置最大长度在Swift。 通过IBInspectable，你可以在Xcode属性检查器中添加新的属性。

import UIKit
private var maxLengths = [UITextField: Int]()
extension UITextField {

    @IBInspectable var maxLength: Int {
        get {
            guard let length = maxLengths[self]
            else {
                return Int.max
            }
            return length
        }
        set {
            maxLengths[self] = newValue
            addTarget(
                self,
                action: Selector("limitLength:"),
                forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.EditingChanged
            )
        }
    }

    func limitLength(textField: UITextField) {
        guard let prospectiveText = textField.text
            where prospectiveText.characters.count > maxLength else {
                return
        }
        let selection = selectedTextRange
        text = prospectiveText.substringWithRange(
            Range<String.Index>(prospectiveText.startIndex ..< prospectiveText.startIndex.advancedBy(maxLength))
        )
        selectedTextRange = selection
    }

}

你不能直接这样做- UITextField没有maxLength属性，但你可以设置UITextField的委托，然后使用:

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string

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。

谢谢你奥古斯特!(Post)

这是我最终得到的代码:

#define MAX_LENGTH 20

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
    if (textField.text.length >= MAX_LENGTH && range.length == 0)
    {
        return NO; // return NO to not change text
    }
    else
    {return YES;}
}

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 } }
