Question

Is it possible (wihout using a background image) to create the same effect as in the AppStore password prompt. (in the UIAlertView) I’m specifically talking about the bevelled border and the shadow in the upper third.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: The textfield should be rectangular (no rounded rectangle)

Answer 1

Does the following code helps?

yourAlertTextField.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14];
yourAlertTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;

I suppose you should have textfield font size bigger then 12 to see the effect.
