Change UITextField and UITextView Cursor / Caret Color

Question

I\'m wondering about changing the color of the cursor / caret in a UITextField (And UITextView if its the same answer) in iOS. I\'ve seen answers f

Answer 1

For people searching the equivalent in SwiftUI for Textfield this is accentColor:

TextField("Label", text: $self.textToBind).accentColor(Color.red)

Answer 2

With iOS7 you can simply change tintColor of the textField

Answer 3

If you're targeting iOS 7+, this has been made much easier. Simply change the tintColor of the field with a cursor using the appearance proxy and it will apply throughout the app:

Swift 3.0:

UITextField.appearance().tintColor = .black 

Objective-C:

[[UITextField appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

Same answer applies for an individual UITextField:

Swift 3.0:

myTextField.tintColor = .black 

Objective-C

[myTextField setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

Answer 4

Swift 4

In viewDidLoad() just call below code:

CODE SAMPLE

//txtVComplaint is a textView

txtVComplaint.tintColor = UIColor.white

txtVComplaint.tintColorDidChange()

Answer 5

This worked for me in swift:

UITextField.tintColor = UIColor.blackColor()

You can also set this in storyboard: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18759577/3075340
