You can use this sub:

Sub SetPadding(tf As TextField, Padding As Float)
   Dim pnl As Panel
   pnl.Initialize("")
   pnl.SetLayoutAnimated(0, 1, 0, 0, Padding, tf.Height)
   Dim no As NativeObject = tf
   no.SetField("leftView", pnl)
   no.SetField("leftViewMode", 3)
End Sub

(It is based on this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3727068/set-padding-for-uitextfield-with-uitextborderstylenone)

Is this only valid code for textfields?

When I change it to label and feed it with a label I get this error

[<UILabel 0x165b2920> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key leftView.

I'm in need for top padding tho. worst case I go with an extra panel as container for the label.

There is no padding property to labels.
