Question

I have a UIButton whose title is constantly changing and sometimes, the string I set it to exceeds the bounds of the frame. Here’s a hard-coded example of the issue I’m seeing.

I want the width to stay constant, the words to wrap, and the height to adjust accordingly. So far, no luck on the third one. Here’s the code I currently have for setting the button’s title:

[self.button    setTitle:@"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
            forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self.button sizeToFit];
[self.button setNeedsDisplay];

Answer 1

What I wound up doing was creating an IBOutlet to the button’s height constraint (did NOT know I could do that) and setting the constant to self.button.titleLabel.height.
