iPhone how to: center and horizontal align the contents of a UITextField

Posted on August 7, 2009 by Nick. Posted in objective c.

It’s as simple as:

theTextField.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
theTextField.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;

Basically this will ensure that no matter how tall your text field is the actual text will be centered both vertically and horizontally.
