Text inset for UITextField?

Question

I would like to inset the text of a UITextField.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Overriding -textRectForBounds: will only change the inset of the placeholder text. To change the inset of the editable text, you need to also override -editingRectForBounds:

// placeholder position - (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {      return CGRectInset(bounds, 10, 10); }  // text position - (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {      return CGRectInset(bounds, 10, 10); } 

Answer 2

I was able to do it through:

myTextField.layer.sublayerTransform = CATransform3DMakeTranslation(5, 0, 0); 

Of course remember to import QuartzCore and also add the Framework to your project.
