你可以通过设置leftView来设置UITextField的文本插入。

是这样的:

UITextField *yourTextField = [[UITextField alloc] init];
UIView *leftView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 5, 5)];
leftView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
yourTextField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
yourTextField.leftView = leftView;

使用textRectForBounds:是正确的方法。我已经在我的子类中包装了这个，所以你可以简单地使用textEdgeInsets。看到SSTextField。

@IBInspectable， @IBDesignable swift类怎么样?

@IBDesignable
class TextField: UITextField {
    @IBInspectable var insetX: CGFloat = 6 {
       didSet {
         layoutIfNeeded()
       }
    }
    @IBInspectable var insetY: CGFloat = 6 {
       didSet {
         layoutIfNeeded()
       }
    }

    // placeholder position
    override func textRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds , insetX , insetY)
    }

    // text position
    override func editingRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds , insetX , insetY)
    }
}

你会在你的故事板中看到这个。

更新- Swift 3

@IBDesignable
class TextField: UITextField {
    @IBInspectable var insetX: CGFloat = 0
    @IBInspectable var insetY: CGFloat = 0

    // placeholder position
    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: insetX, dy: insetY)
    }

    // text position
    override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: insetX, dy: insetY)
    }
}

下面是在Swift 3中编写的相同子类UITextField。它与之前的Swift版本有很大的不同，正如你将看到的:

import UIKit

class MyTextField: UITextField
    {
    let inset: CGFloat = 10

    // placeholder position
    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect
        {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: inset, dy: inset)
        }

    // text position
    override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect
        {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: inset, dy: inset)
        }

    override func placeholderRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect
        {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: inset, dy: inset)
        }
    }

顺便说一句，如果你只想控制一侧的插入，你也可以像下面这样做。如果你把一个图像放在UITextField的顶部，但你想让它在用户看来是在文本框中，那么这个只调整左边插图的特殊例子就很方便了:

    override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect
        {
        return CGRect.init(x: bounds.origin.x + inset, y: bounds.origin.y, width: bounds.width - inset, height: bounds.height)
        }

如果你想改变TOP和LEFT缩进只有这样

//占位符

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {

CGRect frame = bounds;
frame.origin.y = 3;
 frame.origin.x = 5;
bounds = frame;
return CGRectInset( bounds , 0 , 0 );
}

//文本位置

- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {

CGRect frame = bounds;
frame.origin.y = 3;
 frame.origin.x = 5;
bounds = frame;
return CGRectInset( bounds , 0 , 0 );
}

对于那些正在寻找更简单解决方案的人来说。

在UIView中添加UITextField。为了模拟文本框周围的插入，我保持左10像素，宽度比视图小20像素。对于文本框周围的圆角边框，请使用视图的边框

viewBG.layer.cornerRadius = 8.0;
viewBG.layer.borderColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor].CGColor;
viewBG.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;
