How to style UITextview to like Rounded Rect text field?

Question

I am using a text view as a comment composer.

In the properties inspector I can\'t find anything like a border style property so that I can make use a rounded rect,

Answer 1

One solution is to add a UITextField below the UITextView, make the UITextView background transparent and disable any user interaction on the UITextField. Then in code change the UITextField frame with something like that

self.textField.frame = CGRectInset(self.textView.frame, 0, -2);

You will have exactly the same look as a text field.

And as suggested by Jon, you should put this piece of code inside [UIViewController viewDidLayoutSubviews] on iOS 5.0+.
