Question

I have the following code in my app which changes the cell details text items to blue.

cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@, %@", 
                             info.area, info.addressOne];
cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0x33/255.0 green:0               blue:0x99/255.0     alpha:1.0];   

Is there anyway to change the colour of the two items here independently instead of both being blue ?

Thanks,

Martin

UILabel can’t display multiple colors. You’ll need to set up a pair of labels manually and add them to the cell’s contentView. For laying them out, use NSString’s -sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:lineBreakMode: method to get the width of the two strings and position/size the labels accordingly.
