Swift 4 + 2。

通过实现UITextFieldDelegate方法

ViewController: class MyViewController: UIViewController { let MAX_LENGTH = 256 @IBOutlet weak var myTextField: UITextField! override viewDidLoad() { self.myTextField.delegate = self } } Delegate: extension MyViewController: UITextFieldDelegate { func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool { let userText = textView.text ?? "" var newText = "" if range.length > 0 { let txt = NSString(string: userText) if txt.length > 0 { newText = txt.replacingCharacters(in: range, with: text) } } else { newText = userText + text } return newText.count <= MAX_LENGTH } }

这是处理UITextField最大长度的正确方法，它允许返回键退出辞职文本字段作为第一响应器，并让用户在达到限制时退格

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {
int MAX_LENGHT = 5;
    if([string isEqualToString:@"\n"])
    {
        [textField resignFirstResponder];
        return FALSE;
    }
    else if(textField.text.length > MAX_LENGHT-1)
    {
        if([string isEqualToString:@""] && range.length == 1)
        {
            return TRUE;
        }
        else
        {
            return FALSE;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        return TRUE;
    }
}

我们可以像这样设置文本框的范围。

-(BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range  replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
     int setrange = 20;
     return !([textField.text length]>setrange && [string length] > range.length);
}

这应该足以解决问题(用你想要的极限替换4)。只要确保在IB中添加委托。

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
     NSString *newString = [textField.text stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:string];
     return (newString.length<=4);
}

import UIKit

private var kAssociationKeyMaxLength: Int = 0

extension UITextField {
    
    @IBInspectable var maxLength: Int {
        get {
            if let length = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &kAssociationKeyMaxLength) as? Int {
                return length
            } else {
                return Int.max
            }
        }
        set {
            objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &kAssociationKeyMaxLength, newValue, .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN)
            addTarget(self, action: #selector(checkMaxLength), for: .editingChanged)
        }
    }
    
    @objc func checkMaxLength(textField: UITextField) {
        guard let prospectiveText = self.text,
            prospectiveText.count > maxLength
            else {
                return
        }
        
        let selection = selectedTextRange
        
        let indexEndOfText = prospectiveText.index(prospectiveText.startIndex, offsetBy: maxLength)
        let substring = prospectiveText[..<indexEndOfText]
        text = String(substring)
        
        selectedTextRange = selection
    }
}

编辑:内存泄漏问题修复。

适用于Swift 3.1或更高版本

首先添加协议UITextFieldDelegate

如:-

class PinCodeViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate { 
.....
.....
.....

}

之后创建你的UITextField并设置委托

完成经验:-

import UIKit

class PinCodeViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {

let pinCodetextField: UITextField = {
    let tf = UITextField()
    tf.placeholder = "please enter your pincode"
    tf.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 15)
    tf.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.roundedRect
    tf.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionType.no
    tf.keyboardType = UIKeyboardType.numberPad
    tf.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewMode.whileEditing;
    tf.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignment.center
 return tf
  }()


 override func viewDidLoad() {
   super.viewDidLoad()
   view.addSubview(pinCodetextField)
    //----- setup your textfield anchor or position where you want to show it----- 


    // after that 
pinCodetextField.delegate = self // setting the delegate

 }
func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
    return !(textField.text?.characters.count == 6 && string != "")
     } // this is return the maximum characters in textfield 
    }
