How Can I Underline the Button Text of UIButton?

Question

The text is coming form a database. I would like to use it for a button and underline the text of the button. How can I do that?

For this you can subclass UILabel and overwrite its -drawRect method and then use your own UILabel and add a UIButton over it of custom type.

Make your drawRect method in UILabel as

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect 
{
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(context, 207.0f/255.0f, 91.0f/255.0f, 44.0f/255.0f, 1.0f);

    CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 1.0f);

    CGContextMoveToPoint(context, 0, self.bounds.size.height - 1);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, self.bounds.size.width, self.bounds.size.height - 1);

    CGContextStrokePath(context);

    [super drawRect:rect]; 

}
