iOS: Adding an IBAction to part of UILabel

Question

I have and UILabel and I want to add and IBAction in the word "email" to open the email client in the iPhone. Here is my code:

func setInfoLabel() {
    self.myLabel.text = "send me and email if you need more information"
}

Any of you knows how can I add the action to the word in the UILabel?

I'll really appreciate your help.

Answer 1

You should use UIButton instead of UILabel because it was created for displaying text only, however, if you still want to use it

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let gestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tapAction))
    self.myLabel.addGestureRecognizer(gestureRecognizer)
} 

/* will be called when tapping on the label */
@objc func tapAction() -> Void {
    
}
