How do I drag and drop a label to autocomplete textfield?

Question

I want to drag and drop a label or something that will autocomplete the UITextfield. For example if I have an empty textfield and I drag a label with text "hello world" on top of the textfield, the textfield will have "hello world" as its text. Does anyone know how I can do this? Is a UILabel the best choice to use? or perhaps a UIButton could work?

Try this

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
   //get position
   // get label on that position
   [label removeFromSuperView];
   newLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init]; 
   [self.view addSubView:newLabel]; //positioned at label
}

touchesMoved {
   //getPosition
   newLabel.position = position;
}

touchesEnded {
   //getPosition.
   self.view.subviews; // loop and find which view has the position.

   UILabel *finalLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
   finalLabel.center = newLabel.center;

   [newLabel removeFromSuperView];

   [viewToBeDroppedOn addSubview:finalLabel];
}
