drawTextInRect on UITextField not called

Question

I\'m trying to implement the answer to this SO question. The problem is: -[drawTextInRect] is apparently not called, and setting the shadow in -[drawRect]

Answer 1

UITextField does not respond to a - drawTextInRect: message. The code on the page you reference subclasses a UILabel not a UITextField, which is why it didn't work for you.
