How to change height of text field?

Question

Is there a way to change the height of a text field in IB?

If not, what is the proper way to do it in code?

Solution 1

Click the attribute inspector for the textField and then change the Border style to second one and you will be able to change the height.

Solution 2

Step 1 : Click the Attribute Inspector, Select the Border Styles which is not the rounded one.

Step 2 : Now go to Size Inspector and change the size of the TextField.

Step 3 : Create an @IBOutlet for TextField and then add below code inside the viewWillAppear() or viewDidAppear().

userTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.roundedRect

Swift 4.2

userTextField.borderStyle = UITextField.BorderStyle.roundedRect

Now you'll get the cool rounded textfield.

Solution 3

Change to square border style and then go back to rounded border and it will stay the same. This works for xCode 11.0

Solution 4

In the attribute inspector of your textField you can select the first, second and third Border Styles to increase the height.

Which border style you are using ?

[Vinoth Vino]

It's showing in Xcode 11 beta 4 with None, Line and Bezel border style.

For XCode 12.4 the height and width in Size Inspector is disabled. I picked up the border style you mentioned. Could it be because of I put the TextField inside a Vertical StackView? How to fix this?
