how to set border style of a UITextfield

Question

How can I set the border style of a UITextField programatically?

I am creating my text field like so:

UITextField *tfText = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(65, 200, 200, 30)]; tfText.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.2 green:0.9 blue:0.5 alpha:0.3];        tfText.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter; [self.view addSubview:tfText]; [tfText release]; 

Answer 1

Try this

UITextField *tfText = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(65, 200, 200, 30)]; tfText.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.2 green:0.9 blue:0.5 alpha:0.3];        tfText.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter; // Border Style None [tfText setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleNone]; [self.view addSubview:tfText]; [tfText release];

You can use Quartzcore and the layer properties.

sometextfield.layer.borderWidth = 1; sometextfield.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor redColor] CGColor]; 

I must remember to add QuartzCore to your project and to import it where you want to use it.
