UITextField placeholder string is always Top aligned in ios7

Question

I have subclass the UITextField class and did the below code

- (void)drawPlaceholderInRect:(CGRect)rect
{

    [self.placeHolderTextColor setFill];
    [self.pl         


        

Answer 1

Why not just shift the drawing rect and then invoke the super method implementation call? Swift code ensues...

override func drawPlaceholderInRect(rect: CGRect) {
    var newRect = CGRectInset(rect, 0, 2)
    newRect.origin.y += 2
    super.drawPlaceholderInRect(newRect)
}
