Question

For instance, if I wanted to input 12345:
       5
     45
    345
  2345
12345

I can try and create my own method to do this, but I was wondering if there is a built in way to do this.

Answer 1

There are a couple of ways to do this. NSTextAlignmentRight will probably fit your needs:

[myTextField setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentRight];

But there is also setBaseWritingDirection:UITextWritingDirectionRightToLeft. (Haven’t tested this I’m not on my computer)

[myTextField setBaseWritingDirection:UITextWritingDirectionRightToLeft forRange:[myTextField textRangeFromPosition:[myTextField beginningOfDocument] toPosition:[myTextField endOfDocument]]];
