抛出另一个不需要子类化的解决方案:

UITextField *txtField = [UITextField new];
txtField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;

// grab BG layer
CALayer *bgLayer = txtField.layer.sublayers.lastObject;
bgLayer.opacity = 0.f;

// add new bg view
UIView *bgView = [UIView new];
bgView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
bgView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
bgView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

[txtField addSubview: bgView];
[txtField sendSubviewToBack: bgView];

在iOS 7和iOS 8上测试。这两个工作。苹果仍然有可能修改UITextField的层层次结构，把事情搞砸了。

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。

我通常尽量避免子类化，但如果你已经:

// add a property 
@property (nonatomic) UIEdgeInsets edgeInsets;

// and override:

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return [super textRectForBounds:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds, self.edgeInsets)];
}

- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return [super editingRectForBounds:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds, self.edgeInsets)];
}

Swift 3 /可在界面构建器中设计/单独的水平和垂直昆虫/可用

@IBDesignable
class TextFieldWithPadding: UITextField {

@IBInspectable var horizontalInset: CGFloat = 0
@IBInspectable var verticalInset: CGFloat = 0

override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return bounds.insetBy(dx: horizontalInset, dy: verticalInset)
}

override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return bounds.insetBy(dx: horizontalInset , dy: verticalInset)
}

override func placeholderRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return bounds.insetBy(dx: horizontalInset, dy: verticalInset)
}
}

用法:

解决方案:实际有效且适用于所有情况的解决方案:

应该使用offsetBy而不是insetBy。 也应该调用超函数来获取原始的Rect。 Bounds故障。你需要抵消原来的X, Y，边界有X, Y为零。 原始的x, y可以是非零，例如当设置UITextField的leftView时。

示例:

override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return super.textRect(forBounds: bounds).offsetBy(dx: 0.0, dy: 4)
}


override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return super.editingRect(forBounds: bounds).offsetBy(dx: 0.0, dy: 4)
}

快速解决没有子类&也检查

extension UITextField {
    @IBInspectable var textInsets: CGPoint {
            get {
                return CGPoint.zero
            }
            set {
                layer.sublayerTransform = CATransform3DMakeTranslation(newValue.x, newValue.y, 0);
            }
        }
}
