Question

Is it possible to display UIProgressView style rectangle on the background of UITextField?
Just likes Safari’s url bar displayed the progress when loading web page.

Welcome any comment

You can display any view but not as a background property, you can addIt like a sub view.

May be you need UIActivityIndicatorView Class Reference

    UIActivityIndicatorView *activityIndicatorView =[[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] 
                                                      initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge];

    [activityIndicatorView startAnimating];
    activityIndicatorView.frame = activityIndicatorFrame;

    [yourTextField addSubview:activityIndicatorView];
    [activityIndicatorView release];

There is no such style rectangle for UIProgressView.
