How to style UITextview to like Rounded Rect text field?

There is no implicit style that you have to choose, it involves writing a bit of code using the QuartzCore framework:

//first, you#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>//.....//Here I add a UITextView in code, it will work if it's added in IB tooUITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 220, 200, 100)];//To make the border look very close to a UITextField[textView.layer setBorderColor:[[[UIColor grayColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.5] CGColor]];[textView.layer setBorderWidth:2.0];//The rounded corner part, where you specify your view's corner radius:textView.layer.cornerRadius = 5;textView.clipsToBounds = YES;

It only works on OS 3.0 and above, but I guess now it's the de facto platform anyway.

this code worked well for me:

    [yourTextView.layer setBackgroundColor: [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor]];    [yourTextView.layer setBorderColor: [[UIColor grayColor] CGColor]];    [yourTextView.layer setBorderWidth: 1.0];    [yourTextView.layer setCornerRadius:8.0f];    [yourTextView.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];

Swift 3 Version

After setting up the text view in interface builder.

@IBOutlet weak var textView: UITextView!override func viewDidLoad() {    super.viewDidLoad()    textView.layer.cornerRadius = 5         textView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.gray.withAlphaComponent(0.5).cgColor    textView.layer.borderWidth = 0.5      textView.clipsToBounds = true}

Swift 2.2 Version

@IBOutlet weak var textView: UITextView!override func viewDidLoad() {    super.viewDidLoad()    textView.layer.cornerRadius = 5         textView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.grayColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.5).CGColor    textView.layer.borderWidth = 0.5      textView.clipsToBounds = true}
