Cocoa Touch: How To Change UIView's Border Color And Thickness?

Question

I saw in the inspector that I can change the background color, but I\'d like to also change the border color and thickness, is this possible?

Answer 1

I wanted to add this to @marczking's answer (Option 1) as a comment, but my lowly status on StackOverflow is preventing that.

I did a port of @marczking's answer to Objective C. Works like charm, thanks @marczking!

UIView+Border.h:

#import 

IB_DESIGNABLE
@interface UIView (Border)

-(void)setBorderColor:(UIColor *)color;
-(void)setBorderWidth:(CGFloat)width;
-(void)setCornerRadius:(CGFloat)radius;

@end

UIView+Border.m:

#import "UIView+Border.h"

@implementation UIView (Border)
// Note: cannot use synthesize in a Category

-(void)setBorderColor:(UIColor *)color
{
    self.layer.borderColor = color.CGColor;
}

-(void)setBorderWidth:(CGFloat)width
{
    self.layer.borderWidth = width;
}

-(void)setCornerRadius:(CGFloat)radius
{
    self.layer.cornerRadius = radius;
    self.layer.masksToBounds = radius > 0;
}

@end
