Question

In my iPad app I am showing scrolling UILabel with text that will be fetched from the web service and the text size of the same need to be set Dynamic. My problem is that I will have to set the width of the UILabel according to the length of the text to be fetched from the web service.

I have tried all or most of the solutions possible but in vain.

Say if the NSString where I am storing the string fetched from the server is with 300 characters,it shows 2270 as width using the following code.

CGFloat width =  [ScrollingLabel.text sizeWithFont:ScrollingLabel.font].width;

ScrollingLabel.frame = CGRectMake(1024,720,width,45);

But then also I am not getting half of the string in the app.

Answer 1

I could get the solution of my problem just by multiplying the width with 2 that was been resulting with the code :

CGFloat width =  [ScrollingLabel.text sizeWithFont:ScrollingLabel.font].width;

ScrollingLabel.frame = CGRectMake(1024,720,width,45);
