I've got various views in my iPhone application that require padding e.g a custom UIButton with text aligned left, and a UILabel with a background color.
This may be a really stupid question, but how can I apply 'padding' to move the text off the left hand edge?
I've tired using bounds etc without any success.
I know I could create a wrapper view for my UILabel
with a background color, but it seems like overkill.
Many thanks.
Ok the simplest solution I've found so far is:
self.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
[self sizeToFit];
CGRect frame = self.frame;
frame.size.width += 20; //l + r padding
self.frame = frame;
Not exactly what I wanted, but it works.
