How can I move the clear button in a UITextField?

Question

For some reason, when I add a UITextfield as a subview of the contentview of a tablecell, the clearbutton does not align with the text typed in the field, and appears a bit unde

Answer 1

I had subclassed the UITextField and override the function clearButtonRectForBounds:.

.h

#import 

@interface TVUITextFieldWithClearButton : UITextField

@end

.m

#import "TVUITextFieldWithClearButton.h"

@implementation TVUITextFieldWithClearButton

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)awakeFromNib
{
    self.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
}


- (CGRect)clearButtonRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return CGRectMake(bounds.size.width/2-20 , bounds.origin.y-3, bounds.size.width, bounds.size.height);
}

@end
