Question

I’m trying to dynamicly set label size. It works in a strange way, i get some of the text cut off.
I first set my label text and then try to resize it like this way.

    _switch2Label.text = @"Call on alarm, there will be no call if other user of alarm system will recieve an alarm call and confirm (answer) it by pressing 0#";
    _switch2Label.numberOfLines = 0;
    [self newFrame:_switch2Label];

- (void) newFrame:(UILabel *) label
{

    CGSize maxSize = self.view.bounds.size;
    maxSize.width = maxSize.width - 30;
    CGSize labelSize = [label.text sizeWithFont:label.font constrainedToSize:maxSize lineBreakMode:label.lineBreakMode];

    CGRect newFrame = label.frame;
    newFrame.size.height = labelSize.height;
    label.frame = newFrame;

}

I only get three lines of text, while five is needed for this label. Maybe anyone could see my mistake here? If I add more text to label it gets shown, yet still about two lines of the label text gets cutt off.

I have changed your method…Please check it..it may help you..

- (void) newFrame:(UILabel *) label
{
     CGSize constraint = CGSizeMake(300, 1000.0f);
     CGSize size_txt_overview1 = [label.text sizeWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial Rounded MT Bold" size:15] constrainedToSize:constraint lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
     label.frame = CGRectMake(20,20, size_txt_overview1.width, size_txt_overview1.height+15);
}
