Prevent word wrap with UITextView

Question

Hi,using Iphone sdk 3.1.2

I have a UITextView control with vertical and horizontal scrolling enabled. I want every line of text to display without wrapping so that the user can scroll horizontally to see it. The issue I have is that even with horizontal scroll enabled, the text wraps at the width of the iphone screen i.e.320 pixels.

How can I prevent wrapping?

Thanks

Answer 1

Use sizeWithFont: from the NSString UIKit additions to get each line's width, then set your UITextView's contentSize property to be slightly wider than the width of the longest line.

Answer 2

It sounds like you want to prevent the text from wrapping. I believe you need to set the contentHorizontalAlignment property of the UITextField to UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentLeft.

Edit-1: Disregard the above struck out only applies UITextField and has no relevance to UITextView.

Answer 3

I think you're stuck with putting a UITextfield in a scrollview.
