How to set UITextField height?

Question

You can not change the height of the rounded rect border style. To set the height, just choose any border style other than rounded border in Xcode:

I finally found the fix for this!

As we have found, IB doesn't allow us to change the height of the rounded corner border style. So change it to any of the other styles and set the desired height. In the code change the border style back.

textField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;

CGRect frameRect = textField.frame;
frameRect.size.height = 100; // <-- Specify the height you want here.
textField.frame = frameRect;

If you are using Auto Layout then you can do it on the Story board.

Add a height constraint to the text field, then change the height constraint constant to any desired value. Steps are shown below:

Step 1: Create a height constraint for the text field

Step 2: Select Height Constraint

Step 3: Change Height Constraint's constant value

1.) Change the border Style in the InterfaceBuilder.

2.) After that you're able to change the size.

3.) Create an IBOutlet to your TextField and enter the following code to your viewDidLoad() to change the BorderStyle back.

textField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;

Swift 3:

textField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.roundedRect

1. Choose the border style as not rounded

2. Set your height

in your viewWillAppear set the corners as round

yourUITextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;

3. Enjoy your round and tall UITextField

Follow these two simple steps and get increase height of your UItextField.

Step 1: right click on XIB file and open it as in "Source Code".

Step 2: Find the same UITextfield source and set the frame as you want.

You can use these steps to change frame of any apple controls.
