Is it possible to add a border style to a UITableView? (Not BorderColor/BorderWidth)

Question

Is it possible to add a border style to a UITableView?

Not just bordercolor and borderwidth.

For example a grooved border style?

Answer 1

Hey You can give border to your views using CALayer which is available in QuartzCore Framework

Following link will help you to understand CALayer in detail.

Introduction to CALayers Tutorial

For example from the above link,

// Import QuartzCore.h at the top of the file
#import 

// In viewDidLoad add the following lines
self.view.layer.backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor].CGColor;
self.view.layer.cornerRadius = 20.0;
self.view.layer.frame = CGRectInset(self.view.layer.frame, 20, 20);


CALayer *sublayer = [CALayer layer];
sublayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor].CGColor;
sublayer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 5);
sublayer.shadowRadius = 5.0;
sublayer.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
sublayer.shadowOpacity = 1.0;
sublayer.frame = CGRectMake(30, 30, 128, 192);
[self.view.layer addSublayer:sublayer];

Though above code will not give you exact grooved effect. But you can try with it.
