If you mean Round Rect as oval then try this

theTextField.borderStyle=UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;

Edit

See this Link.here they have created the round rect text field using quartz core framework.

All the best.

If you created the text field by interface builder and set property of border as roundrect in inspector window. – Warrior Apr 01 '10 at 14:38
No i am actually using a tableview and creating the textboxes via code without IB . . – thndrkiss Apr 01 '10 at 14:41
I think you can use only the inbuilt border style. – Warrior Apr 01 '10 at 14:42
hmm .. I remember seeing an app from medscape which has a oval shaped box. . . so I thought there should be some way ! – thndrkiss Apr 01 '10 at 14:44
I think you referring to the search bar. – Warrior Apr 01 '10 at 14:59
I just now saw some 15 screen shots of that app where text field is roundrect and search bar is oval. – Warrior Apr 01 '10 at 15:02
thanks for the concern. I have edited my question and added a link which shows the actual screen shot of that app. – thndrkiss Apr 01 '10 at 18:24
