Question

I currently have a regular border. I would like to only have a top and bottom border.

How do I accomplish this?

Using the UITextField<

One approach I have found works good is using layers. Here's a snippet:

CALayer *bottomBorder = [CALayer layer];
bottomBorder.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, self.frame.size.height - 1, self.frame.size.width, 1.0f);
bottomBorder.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
[myTextField.layer addSublayer:bottomBorder];

Hope this helps someone.
