Question

Friends,
i have created a UILabel with border (just like the image below).

I want to start my label after one/two lines left and then after finishing last line of label again one/two lines below.

Is there any way to get spacing inside label’s border?

    UILabel *cmntBoxlbl = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(58, 23, 250, 60)];
     cmntBoxlbl.font=[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:12];
     cmntBoxlbl.layer.borderColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor].CGColor;
     cmntBoxlbl.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;
      NSString *text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@%@",@"  ",[[self.DtlArray  objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"comment"],@" "];
      cmntBoxlbl.text = text;

      cmntBoxlbl.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
      cmntBoxlbl.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
      [cmntBoxlbl setTextColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]];

      CGSize expectedLabelSize = [text sizeWithFont:cmntBoxlbl.font
                            constrainedToSize:cmntBoxlbl.frame.size
                                lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

      CGRect newFrame = cmntBoxlbl.frame;
      newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;
      cmntBoxlbl.frame = newFrame;
      cmntBoxlbl.numberOfLines = 0;
      [cmntBoxlbl sizeToFit];
      [cell addSubview:cmntBoxlbl];

Make current label(commentLabel) color is white. create another label with same content and a little smaller size,place it inside the boarder.Make padding as you wish
