Answer 1

Just put all the controls in a container UIView and set the borderWidth and borderColor properties of the container view's layer.

Answer 2

Ole Begemann is correct in his post of borderWidth. One important addition though is that you need the following line.

 #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
