使用textRectForBounds:是正确的方法。我已经在我的子类中包装了这个，所以你可以简单地使用textEdgeInsets。看到SSTextField。

你可以通过设置leftView来设置UITextField的文本插入。

是这样的:

UITextField *yourTextField = [[UITextField alloc] init];
UIView *leftView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 5, 5)];
leftView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
yourTextField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
yourTextField.leftView = leftView;

我做到了:

myTextField.layer.sublayerTransform = CATransform3DMakeTranslation(5, 0, 0);

当然记得导入QuartzCore并将框架添加到您的项目中。

Swift 5版本的克里斯托弗的答案与额外的用法示例

import UIKit

private class InsetTextField: UITextField {
    var insets: UIEdgeInsets

    init(insets: UIEdgeInsets) {
        self.insets = insets
        super.init(frame: .zero)
    }

    required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("not intended for use from a NIB")
    }

    // placeholder position
    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
         return super.textRect(forBounds: bounds.inset(by: insets))
    }
 
    // text position
    override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
         return super.editingRect(forBounds: bounds.inset(by: insets))
    }
}

extension UITextField {

    class func textFieldWithInsets(insets: UIEdgeInsets) -> UITextField {
        return InsetTextField(insets: insets)
    }

}

用法:-

class ViewController: UIViewController {

  private let passwordTextField: UITextField = {

        let textField = UITextField.textFieldWithInsets(insets: UIEdgeInsets(top: 10, left: 15, bottom: 10, right: 15))
     // ---
   
        return textField
    }()

}

如果你只需要左边空白，你可以试试这个:

UItextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:...];
UIView *leftView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 10, textField.frame.size.height)];
leftView.backgroundColor = textField.backgroundColor;
textField.leftView = leftView;
textField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;

这对我很管用。我希望这能有所帮助。

下面是一个全面的Swift答案，包括一个leftView(自定义图标)和一个自定义清除按钮，两者都设置在界面生成器中，具有可定制的insets。

import UIKit

@IBDesignable
class InsetTextField: UITextField {
@IBInspectable var leftInset:CGFloat = 0
@IBInspectable var rightInset:CGFloat = 0
@IBInspectable var icon:UIImage? { didSet {
    let imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 16, height: 16))
    imageView.image = icon
    self.leftView = imageView
    self.leftViewMode = .Always
} }

@IBInspectable var clearButton:UIImage? { didSet {
    let button = UIButton(type: .Custom)
    button.setImage(clearButton, forState: .Normal)
    button.addTarget(self, action: "clear", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
    button.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 18, height: 18)
    self.rightView = button
    self.rightViewMode = .WhileEditing
} }

func clear() {
    self.text = ""
}

override func leftViewRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    var height:CGFloat = 0
    var width:CGFloat = 0
    if let leftView = self.leftView {
        height = leftView.bounds.height
        width = leftView.bounds.width
    }

    return CGRect(x: leftInset, y: bounds.height/2 - height/2, width: width, height: height)
}

override func rightViewRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    var height:CGFloat = 0
    var width:CGFloat = 0
    if let rightView = self.rightView {
        height = rightView.bounds.height
        width = rightView.bounds.width
    }

    return CGRect(x: bounds.width - width - rightInset, y: bounds.height/2 - height/2, width: width, height: height)
}

}
