Style all UITextFields at once rather than in each ViewController?

Question

I\'m trying to style all the textfields like so:

CGRect frameRect2 = _lastname_field.frame;
frameRect2.size.height = 30;

_lastname_field.font = [UIFont font         


        

Answer 1

1) If you create your files within your code, I would create a factory class with an interface like that:

@interface MyTextFieldFactory : NSObject
+ (UITextField*)createStyledTextField;
@end

2) If you create your TextFields with the Interface Builder, you could write a category on UITextField, that implements only awakeFromNib:. There you make all your customization. This needs no code changes, neither does it need changes within the nib files.
