UITextView字符换行但不自动换行

Question

I have a UITextView that I would like to disable word wrap on but keep character wrapping enabled.

Basically I would like to have a long string 200+ characters that still wraps in the textview but prevents word recognition and/or word wrap. Is this possible and if so can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Answer 1

This is not possible with a stock UITextView , because there is no lineBreakMode property in its public API. If you don't need the text to be editable, you could look into other solutions such as a UILabel or Core Text. Getting this behavior in an editable control is possible, but will probably be a pretty hard slog.

you can try

NSMutableAttributedString *att=[[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithString:str];
NSMutableParagraphStyle * paragraphStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
[paragraphStyle setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail];
[att addAttribute:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName value:paragraphStyle range:range];
