iOS multiline label in Interface builder


How can I make a multiline UILabel in interface builder for iOS? I tried the UITextView but it didn't quite suit my needs.

How can I add multiline (text) in label?


Solution

  • You can use numberOfLines property which defines maximum number of lines a label can have. By default, it's 1. Setting it to 0 means the label will have unlimited lines.

    You can do it in code:

    textLabel.numberOfLines = 5 // for example
    

    Or in Interface Builder:
