IBOutlet UILabel do not get resized

Question

HI all,

I have designed a view in Interface Builder and connected correctly with its controller. There some UILabel in it that are going to be filled with lot of text. But, even if I have declared "word wrap" and set line to 0 in IB, I can display only first line. I notice that if I increase the height of the UILabel in IB, all the text display properly in multi line, but I cannot do that because text may vary.

Shouldn't the UILabel resize itself to fit all the text ? Also, if I built the UILabel programmatically I can succesfully accomplish a word wrap, why cannot do the same with IB ?

What am I doing wrong ?

thanks Leonardo

Answer 1

The only solution I found is to call sizeToFit programmatically on UILabel. I wonder if there's a setting in IB to emulate this command.
