iOS how to determine the size of UILabel dynamically
ios, iphone, objective-c, uilabel
Solution
just use
UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
myLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"BentonSansComp-Medium" size:50.0];
myLabel.text = @"This is a string example"
[myLabel sizeToFit]; //it will resize the label to just the text is set
CGRectMake size = myLabel.frame; // u will get the frame of the label once is resized
float height = size.size.height; //to get the height of the label
float width = size.size.width; //to get the width of the label
hope it helps
Make sure evrytime you change the text u call the [myLabel sizeToFit]; method
Problem
I'm trying to figure out a way to know what would be the size of the UILabel base on the string and font size to know how define the CGRect dimensions. Here what I have until know: ``` UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init]; myLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"BentonSansComp-Medium" size:50.0]; myLabel.text = @"This is a string example" ``` The problem is I don't have a list of the posible strings but and need to center the label and the string should not be chop (using the sting above example: "This is a str...."). any of you knows how can I determine the size of the UILabel base on the string and font size? I'll really appreciate your help.
