setting transparent background for UILabel for iphone application

transparent, uilabel

Solution

Change the following line:

label.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.0];

to this:

label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

Problem

I have a UILabel in UITableView. Here is the code i have written in cellForRowAtIndexPath ``` UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier]; if (cell == nil) { cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30.0, 5.0, 250.0, 35.0) reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease]; } CGRect rect = CGRectMake(30.0, 5.0, 250.0, 35.0); UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:rect]; label.opaque = NO; label.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14]; label.numberOfLines = 2; label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter; label.textColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor]; label.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.0]; [label setText:@"Test Message"]; [cell addSubview:label]; [label release]; cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.0]; cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone; ``` My intention was to set the background of cell and UILabel as transparent. But it is not working. can any one tell me what i am missing here Thanks Sandeep
