Make your CustomUITextFieldPlaceholder object and then you can call it -

CustomUITextFieldPlaceholder *obj = [[CustomUITextFieldPlaceholder alloc]init];
[obj drawPlaceholderInRect:CGRectMake(x,y,width,height)];

You can call the method this way (in your CustomUITextFieldPlaceholder class) :

[self drawPlaceholderInRect:aRect];

Or if you want to call from outside the CustomUITextFieldPlaceholder class :

[txtName drawPlaceholderInRect:aRect];
