How to change the width of the textLabel in a UITableViewCell

Question

I have several UITableViewCell 's that have custom buttons in them. These buttons cover up the text in a few of the cells. How do I set the width of the textLabel attribute within the cell so this doesn't happen? This doesn't seem to work.

cell.textLabel.font = UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(16)
cell.textLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
cell.textLabel.numberOfLines = 0
cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap
cell.textLabel.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = 200

I am running this in the tableView(table_view, willDisplayCell:cell, forRowAtIndexPath:index_path) method.

Setting the frame at this time doesn't work either.

Answer 1

如果您需要UITableViewCell看起来比默认行为更好，您应该在自己的视图子类中绘制完整内容，以便自定义按钮和文本以及可能的其他信息，并将其作为单元格的视图返回。

Answer 2

Probably create/alloc a UILabel and add it to the cell instead. That way you can set its frame.
