Wrap Text in UITextField?

Does anyone know how to wrap text in a UITextField? I am using Cocoa/Objective-C in Xcode for my iPhone project, and I can not seem to find a way to do this...

+3  A: 

UITextField is meant for single-line text only. If you want multiple lines of text, then you'll have to use the UITextView class instead.

It's worth noting that UITextView inherits from UIScrollView, so if you don't want scrolling, you may want to stick with the UITextField and put up with the text being on one line... I once tried to subclass UITextView to make it like a multiple-line UITextField, but the UIScrollView made the task a nightmare—in the end I just went back to using a simple UITextField.

Yea, I hate the UITextView, so I'm just going to bear with the UITextField standards -_-
