Replace UITextField Placeholder

I have a 'IBOutlet UITextField* textField' connect with a UITextField in a .xib file. I use this element as a combobox in a viewcontroller class which is connect to a VC in the storyboard. My question is how can i modify the placeholder text? I already try the 3 following methods, but nothing work!!

-(void) setPlaceholder:(NSString *)label
{
    textField.placeholder = label;
    [textField setPlaceholder:label];
    [textField cell ]setPlaceholderString:label];
}

thx for your answers

put it in the viewdidload method of your viewcontroller method because the placeholder field wasn't initialize when i called my setPlaceholder method

As long as you're textField has been synthesised, you should be able to use: textField.placeholder = label

textField.placeholder = @"placeholder" shall work, check if label and textField actually point to respective objects.
