In my application I have multiple tableviews with custom cells. Some of the text in the cells are spread out on between 2-4 lines so the height of the label is large enough to contain the content.

However on iPad the screen is larger and I want the text to appear at the top left point of the label, not in the middle as it do when you use numberOfLines property. I know you can horizontally align the text, but it must be possible to align the text to the top left also? Or is it impossible.

    Its impossible to align the text in UILabel vertically. But, you can dynamically change the height of the label using sizeWithFont: method of NSString, and just set its x and y as you want.

    As an alternative you can use UITextField. It supports the contentVerticalAlignment peoperty as it is a subclass of UIControl. You have to set its userInteractionEnabled to NO to prevent user from typing text on it.
