Hi All, I need to strike through the text of a multi-line label. Is there a way to do it? Any suggestion would be greatly helpful. Thanks,
A:
UILabel has both strikethrough & underline feature. See via IB -> UILabel-> attributes -> Font -> Top first 2 buttons are about it.

A:
if you want do it with UILabel for iPhone you can't :(
so there are 3 ways:
(simplest) use UIWebView:
// set html header with styles, you can certainly use some other attributes NSString * htmlWrap = @"<html><head><style>body{text-align:left; background-color:transparent; color:black; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:line-through; font-size:%dpt}`</style></head>`<body>%@</body`></html>"; NSStrring * myText = @"My sample strikethrough text"; webView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; [webView setOpaque:NO]; NSString * htmlText = [NSString stringWithFormat:htmlWrap, 12, myText]; [webView loadHTMLString:htmlText baseURL:nil];use unicode combining diacritic (this works with any objects labels, textfields etc.)
"long stroke overlay" (U+0336) or
"combining low line" (U+0332) before
each charecter in your string. Use-(void)getCharacters:(unichar *)buffer range:(NSRange)aRangeto create unichar array from string (allocate double size of string length), then rearrange array and add U+0336 or U+0332 before each character, then convert unichar array back to NSString with
-(id)initWithCharacters:(const unichar *)characters length:(NSUInteger)lengthbut in most cases this looks bad
Draw it manualy on context.
