I have several UITableViewCell‘s that have custom buttons in them. These buttons cover up the text in a few of the cells. How do I set the width of the textLabel attribute within the cell so this doesn’t happen? This doesn’t seem to work.

cell.textLabel.font = UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(16)
cell.textLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
cell.textLabel.numberOfLines = 0
cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap
cell.textLabel.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = 200

I am running this in the tableView(table_view, willDisplayCell:cell, forRowAtIndexPath:index_path) method.

Setting the frame at this time doesn’t work either.

    If you need your UITableViewCells to look better than the default behavior, you should probably draw the complete contents, so your custom buttons and the text and probably other information, in a view subclass of your own and return that as the view for the cell.
