self.addSubview(myTextField)\n\n\nCould work only, if you're working with the subclass of UIView .\n\nYou have to add it as a subview of the UIView of the ViewController's hierarchy.\n\nvar txtField: UITextField = UITextField(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 500.00, height: 30.00));\nself.view.addSubview(txtField)\n\n\nBy default background colour is white, it just might not appear. You need to provide the style as well as text colour and background colour.\n\ntxtField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.Line\ntxtField.text = \"myString\" \ntxtField.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()\n\n\nFor more info, here",

You need to add text field to self.view instead of self.\n\nvar myField: UITextField = UITextField (frame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 30, 10));\nself.view.addSubview(myField) \n\n\nFor add translucent blur effect there are already a couple of suggestions available, you can go through -\n\nUIView border with fade or blur effect",

You can use below code with Swift 5.2:\n\nlazy var titleTextField:UITextField = {\n let textField = UITextField()\n textField.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false\n textField.placeholder = \"Title *\"\n textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardType.default\n textField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyType.done\n textField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionType.no\n textField.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 13)\n textField.borderStyle = UITextField.BorderStyle.roundedRect\n textField.clearButtonMode = UITextField.ViewMode.whileEditing;\n textField.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControl.ContentVerticalAlignment.center\n return textField\n}()\n",

Add the textField on UIView is\n\nvar textField=UITextField(frame:CGRectMake(x,y,width,height));\nself.view.addSubView(textField)\n",

Amiru Homushi :
Make sure you're in the viewDidLoad() and then simply add the following code to produce a textField:\n\nlet myTextField: UITextField = UITextField(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200.00, height: 40.00));\n self.view.addSubview(myTextField)\n\n myTextField.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()\n myTextField.text = \"some string\"\n myTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.Line\n",
