Custom UITableViewCell. Failed to apply UILineBreakModeTailTruncation

Question

Hi,

I am creating a custom UITableViewCell with UILabel inside.

When I am setting too long text into UILabel, it overlaps bounds of the cell. Looks like I have specified all required properties of UILabel, but still failed to resolve what could be wrong.

Possibly I should configure a table or the cell?

Could you please advice the way I can fix this?

Thanks.

Have you set the number of lines on the UILabel to greater than 1? The number of lines defaults to 1, and if it is set to 1 then none of the UILineBreakModes will apply.

You can set the number of lines in code as follows:

UILabel *myLabel;
myLabel.numberOfLines = 2;

You should then find your LineBreakMode setting works...
