*_someTextField*来自nib/storyboard视图，带有MRDInsetTextField自定义类的用法示例

[(MRDInsetTextField*)_someTextField setInset:CGRectMake(5, 0, 5, 0)]; // left, top, right, bottom inset

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)
    }
}

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。

我子类化UITextField来处理这个，它支持左，上，右和底部的插入，以及清除按钮的定位。

*_someTextField*来自nib/storyboard视图，带有MRDInsetTextField自定义类的用法示例

[(MRDInsetTextField*)_someTextField setInset:CGRectMake(5, 0, 5, 0)]; // left, top, right, bottom inset

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。

@IBInspectable， @IBDesignable swift类怎么样?

@IBDesignable
class TextField: UITextField {
    @IBInspectable var insetX: CGFloat = 6 {
       didSet {
         layoutIfNeeded()
       }
    }
    @IBInspectable var insetY: CGFloat = 6 {
       didSet {
         layoutIfNeeded()
       }
    }

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

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

你会在你的故事板中看到这个。

更新- Swift 3

@IBDesignable
class TextField: UITextField {
    @IBInspectable var insetX: CGFloat = 0
    @IBInspectable var insetY: CGFloat = 0

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

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