How to set content inset for UITextView in ios
An alternative and maybe a little more convenient way to do it, by subclassing the UITextField and add an @IBInspectable inset property.
import UIKit
class UITextfieldWithInset: UITextField {
@IBInspectable
var textfieldInset: CGPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0)
override func textRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
return CGRectInset(bounds, textfieldInset.x, textfieldInset.y)
}
override func editingRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
return CGRectInset(bounds, textfieldInset.x, textfieldInset.y)
}
override func placeholderRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
return CGRectInset(bounds, textfieldInset.x, textfieldInset.y)
}
}
got answer:
[atextView setTextContainerInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(7, 7, 0, 0)];
fixed my problem.
And in Swift...
@IBOutlet var tv:UITextView!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
tv.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)
}
UPDATE: another option to do that.
UIView *spacerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 10, 10)];
[msgtext setLeftViewMode:UITextFieldViewModeAlways];
[msgtext setLeftView:spacerView];
