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。

我想我可以提供一个快速解决方案

import UIKit

class TextField: UITextField {
    let inset: CGFloat = 10

    // placeholder position
    override func textRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds , inset , inset)
    }

    // text position
    override func editingRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds , inset , inset)
    }

    override func placeholderRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds, inset, inset) 
    }
}

斯威夫特 3+

import UIKit

class TextField: UITextField {
    let inset: CGFloat = 10

    // placeholder position
    override func textRect(forBounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return forBounds.insetBy(dx: self.inset , dy: self.inset)
    }

    // text position
    override func editingRect(forBounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return forBounds.insetBy(dx: self.inset , dy: self.inset)
    }

    override func placeholderRect(forBounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return forBounds.insetBy(dx: self.inset, dy: self.inset)
    }
}

你必须子类化是荒谬的，因为UITextField已经实现了方法，就像@Adam Waite指出的那样。下面是一个快速扩展，它公开了一个工厂方法，也可以在我们的categories repo中使用:

private class InsetTextField: UITextField {
    var insets: UIEdgeInsets

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

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

    // placeholder position
    override func textRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return super.textRectForBounds(UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds, insets))
    }

    // text position
    override func editingRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return super.editingRectForBounds(UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds, insets))
    }
}

extension UITextField {

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

}

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)
}

}

如果你有一个明确的按钮，接受的答案将不适合你。我们还应该警惕苹果在未来通过调用super来改变事情。

因此，为了确保文本不会与清除按钮重叠，让我们先从super中获取“默认”值，然后根据需要进行调整。

这段代码将在文本框的顶部、左侧和底部添加一个10px的insets:

@interface InsetTextField : UITextField

@end


@implementation InsetTextField

// Placeholder position
- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    CGRect rect = [super textRectForBounds:bounds];
    UIEdgeInsets insets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 0);

    return UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets);
}

// Text position
- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    CGRect rect = [super editingRectForBounds:bounds];
    UIEdgeInsets insets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 0);

    return UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets);
}

// Clear button position
- (CGRect)clearButtonRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    CGRect rect = [super clearButtonRectForBounds:bounds];

    return CGRectOffset(rect, -5, 0);
}

@end

注意:UIEdgeInsetsMake接受参数的顺序是:上，左，下，右。

对于那些正在寻找更简单解决方案的人来说。

在UIView中添加UITextField。为了模拟文本框周围的插入，我保持左10像素，宽度比视图小20像素。对于文本框周围的圆角边框，请使用视图的边框

viewBG.layer.cornerRadius = 8.0;
viewBG.layer.borderColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor].CGColor;
viewBG.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;
