Removing the image on the left of an UISearchbar

Question

Can I remove the image on the left of an UISearchbar and add a new image?

Answer 1

you can subclass UISearchBar and then use this method:

- (void)setTextFieldLeftView:(UIView *)view
{
    UITextField *searchField = nil;
    for (UIView *subview in self.subviews)
    {
        if ([subview isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]])
        {
            searchField = (UITextField *)subview;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (searchField != nil) 
    {
        searchField.leftView = view;
    }
}
