UITextField border color

Question

I have really great wish to set my own color to UITextField border. But so far I could find out how to change the border line style only.

I\'ve used background prope

Answer 1

Import QuartzCore framework in you class:

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

and for changing the border color use the following code snippet (I'm setting it to redColor),

    textField.layer.cornerRadius=8.0f;
    textField.layer.masksToBounds=YES;
    textField.layer.borderColor=[[UIColor redColor]CGColor];
    textField.layer.borderWidth= 1.0f;

For reverting back to the original layout just set border color to clear color,

    serverField.layer.borderColor=[[UIColor clearColor]CGColor];

in swift code

    textField.layer.borderWidth = 1
    textField.layer.borderColor = UIColor.whiteColor().CGColor

Answer 2

Here's a Swift implementation. You can make an extension so that it will be usable by other views if you like.

extension UIView {
    func addBorderAndColor(color: UIColor, width: CGFloat, corner_radius: CGFloat = 0, clipsToBounds: Bool = false) {
        self.layer.borderWidth  = width
        self.layer.borderColor  = color.cgColor
        self.layer.cornerRadius = corner_radius
        self.clipsToBounds      = clipsToBounds
    }
}

Call this like: email.addBorderAndColor(color: UIColor.white, width: 0.5, corner_radius: 5, clipsToBounds: true).

Try this:

UITextField *theTextFiels=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(40, 40, 150, 30)];
    theTextFiels.borderStyle=UITextBorderStyleNone;
    theTextFiels.layer.cornerRadius=8.0f;
    theTextFiels.layer.masksToBounds=YES;
        theTextFiels.backgroundColor=[UIColor redColor];
    theTextFiels.layer.borderColor=[[UIColor blackColor]CGColor];
    theTextFiels.layer.borderWidth= 1.0f;

    [self.view addSubview:theTextFiels];
    [theTextFiels release];

and import QuartzCore:

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
