UITextField won't show clear button

Question

I have a UITextField in which I want to display a clear button. The UITextField's cornerRadius has been modified and has no border. I have also added padding to the left and right of the text area. The following code leaves me with no clear button.

searchField.layer.cornerRadius = 15; searchField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways; UIView *padding = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 8, 20)]; searchField.leftView = padding; searchField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways; searchField.rightView = padding; searchField.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways; [padding release]; [searchField addTarget:self action:@selector(textFieldDidChange) forControlEvents:UIControlEventEditingChanged]; searchField.userInteractionEnabled = YES;

Does anyone know why I'm unable to get the button to show? I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Maybe you can try this

[textFieldAddress_ setLeftView:buttonBookmark_]; [textFieldAddress_ setLeftViewMode: UITextFieldViewModeAlways]; [textFieldAddress_ setRightView:buttonReloadAndCancel_]; [textFieldAddress_ setRightViewMode: UITextFieldViewModeUnlessEditing]; textFieldAddress_.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;

Thats awesome. Thanks! That worked for me. Shouldn't Apple's docs point out that having a rightView will override the clear button?

I think just by giving as

textField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;

you 'll get clear button while editing and setting any corner radius does not affect it.
