How to make the height of the cursor same with the height of text?

Answer 1

Suppose your UITextField name is uiTextField. To set font size add the code below

_uITextField.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 10)

we can't change the cursor height , but we can do some trick , select your textfield and change your textfield border style as UITextBorderStyleNone

you get the out put as

there after increase the font size of your textfield whatever you want , then you get the output as

Answer 3

I accidentally stumbled across this question and even though it is a little old I feel compelled to answer it since the accepted answer actually isn't correct.

You can indeed change the height (or width) of the cursor. Just subclass the UITextField and override this method:

- (CGRect)caretRectForPosition:(UITextPosition *)position {
    CGRect rect = [super caretRectForPosition:position];
    rect.size.height = 42;
    return rect;
}
