Adding left margin to UITextView

Question

I\'m trying to add a left margin to a UITextView.

I\'ve tried setting the property contentInset, see below:

UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc] in         


        

Answer 1

If you only want to move the text, try

[textView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(<#CGFloat top#>, <#CGFloat left#>, <#CGFloat bottom#>, <#CGFloat right#>)];

Where a positive number moves the "text frame" towards the middle, a negative moves it out from the middle.

For example, [textView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 20, 0,-20)], will move the text 20 pixels to the right!
