Of course, the solution is obvious 30 seconds after posting. Maybe useful to others too… The size by sizeWithFont: was correct. The sizes I calculated in the above way were incorrect, because [label sizeToFit] reduces the width of the label’s frame. At subsequent calls to the same code, it started off with the frame that … Read more
UPDATE FOR iOS 7.0 In iOS 7.0, Apple added a new attribute, NSTextEffectAttributeName, for attributed strings. If your deployment target is iOS 7.0 or later, you can set this attribute to NSTextEffectLetterpressStyle to draw an attributed string in an embossed style. ORIGINAL I can’t say for certain how Apple draws the embossed text. It looks … Read more
First, the good news: You have set the label to 2 lines and Word Wrap. So it can wrap. Excellent. Now you must make sure the label is tall enough. Either give it no height constraint, or give it a big enough height constraint that it can accommodate two lines. Finally, you must limit its … Read more
To center a UILabel just add this row x and y: title.center = self.view.center x: title.center.x = self.view.center.x y: title.center.y = self.view.center.y
Swift 4.x version of Kubba’s answer: Need to Update Line Break as Clip/WordWrap/ in Interface builder to corresponding buttons. class ResizableButton: UIButton { override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize { let labelSize = titleLabel?.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: frame.width, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude)) ?? .zero let desiredButtonSize = CGSize(width: labelSize.width + titleEdgeInsets.left + titleEdgeInsets.right, height: labelSize.height + titleEdgeInsets.top + titleEdgeInsets.bottom) return desiredButtonSize } … Read more
You need to subclass UITableViewCell and override the following two methods: Objective-C: – (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted animated:(BOOL)animated { UIColor *backgroundColor = self.myLabel.backgroundColor; [super setHighlighted:highlighted animated:animated]; self.myLabel.backgroundColor = backgroundColor; } – (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated { UIColor *backgroundColor = self.myLabel.backgroundColor; [super setSelected:selected animated:animated]; self.myLabel.backgroundColor = backgroundColor; } Swift override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) { let color = myLabel.backgroundColor … Read more
Use UITextView (reference). It’s designed to do exactly that. Disable editing, and you get a scrollable label.
How about: [self.label setCenter:view.center];
Swift 4.2 version using the contentMode property to set top and bottom: class VerticalAlignedLabel: UILabel { override func drawText(in rect: CGRect) { var newRect = rect switch contentMode { case .top: newRect.size.height = sizeThatFits(rect.size).height case .bottom: let height = sizeThatFits(rect.size).height newRect.origin.y += rect.size.height – height newRect.size.height = height default: () } super.drawText(in: newRect) } } … Read more
Swift uses the same cocoa-touch API. You can call all the same methods, but they will use Swift’s syntax. In this example you can do something like this: self.simpleLabel.text = “message” Note the setText method isn’t available. Setting the label’s text with = will automatically call the setter in swift.
