当文本长于标签宽度时，如何使 UILabel 文本在末尾显示省略号

Question

My issue is with a UILabel .

The text it holds is much longer than the actual width of the UILabel. So I would like it to appear with "..." (an ellipsis) at the end to denote that there's more text.

I played around with horizontal content hugging priority (made it less than 251) but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Right now it just chops the text when the width fills up.

Answer 1

It is fairly easy:

1. Create a UILabel called "aLabel" for example.

2. Create an IBOutlet.

3. Do:

    aLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = false aLabel.lineBreakMode = .byTruncatingTail

Answer 2

If you are adding UIlabel through a Storyboard, following steps can be useful:

1. Select the label which you want to display '...' at the end.

2. Go to attributes inspector .

3. Select ' Line Breaks ' and choose an option Truncate Tail

4. Check it by giving a text of more content size than label size.

Answer 3

Objective C:

yourUILabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = false;
yourUILabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail;
