UITextField Doesn't Right Justify

shannona opened this issue 13 years ago · 2 comments

Setting the textAlignment field in a UITextField to UITextAlignmentRight doesn't appear to do anything; the text remains justified left. I'd guess the same is true for UITextView since they both appear to use the same private, UITextLayer.

Link provided by jehiah is dead.

It doesn't honor UITextAlignmentCenter either, I got around this by commenting out the following in UICustomNSTextView.m:

[[self textContainer] setWidthTracksTextView:NO];
