Well, in principle you can add "#define kTopMargin 1.0" at the top,
and into the cell methods add something like "cellFrame.origin.y +=
kTopMargin;" and "aRect.origin.y += kTopMargin;" However, this can
look awful if the text does not fit properly.
In any case, Graham's solution might be a much better one.

Thanks that works perfectly!
One question though, what code would I need to add to also give it
padding to the top of the text field?
Thanks Very Much,
Josh.

Subject: Re: Adding Padding To The ‘left’ of a Text Field.
You can subclass NSTextFieldCell as in the following code, and apply
it to your text field in Interace Builder.
----------------------------------------
// The header file
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
@interface CustomTextFieldCell : NSTextFieldCell
{
}
@end
// The implementation file
#import "CustomTextFieldCell.h"
#define kLeftMargin 10.0
@implementation CustomTextFieldCell
- (void)drawInteriorWithFrame:(NSRect)cellFrame
inView:(NSView *)controlView
{
cellFrame.origin.x += kLeftMargin;
cellFrame.size.width -= kLeftMargin;
[super drawInteriorWithFrame:cellFrame
inView:controlView];
}
- (void)selectWithFrame:(NSRect)aRect
inView:(NSView *)controlView
editor:(NSText *)textObj
delegate:(id)anObject
start:(NSInteger)selStart
length:(NSInteger)selLength
{
aRect.origin.x += kLeftMargin;
aRect.size.width -= kLeftMargin;
[super selectWithFrame:aRect
inView:controlView
editor:textObj
delegate:anObject
start:selStart
length:selLength];
}
- (NSRect)_focusRingFrameForFrame:(NSRect)frame
cellFrame:(NSRect)cellFrame
{
return [[self controlView] bounds];
}
@end
----------------------------------------
Note that the last method (that takes care of properly displaying
the focus ring) should probably not be relied upon too much, for
obvious reasons. Anyone know of alternatives?

I have a text field with a background but to make it look right the

NSSearchField (because of the search image). How would I give the
text field some padding on the left?
Thanks,
Josh.
