Hi- I'm having kind of a dumb problem.
I am using the below code to create/modify a UILabel via code. The reason I am creating it via code is because I need it to be rotated 90 degrees and Im not aware of a way to do that in IB.
What's happening - A user hits a button that makes the text they selected to appear in the UILabel. Then when they select the button again, with different text, the new text appears in place of the old text.
The first time I hit the button, it works perfectly, but the second time I hit the button, the new label appears over the old label and the old label never disappears. I have tried removing the first label, making it nil, just removing the text, but I cannot access any part of the label once it has been created.
ViewController.h
... UIView *viewForLabels; UILabel *tab1Label; } @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIView *viewForLabels; @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *tab1Label ...
@end
ViewController.m
...
@synthesize tab1Label;
...
UILabel *tab1Label = [[UILabel alloc]init];
tab1Label.text = [theText];
tab1Label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
tab1Label.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
tab1Label.opaque = NO;
tab1Label.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14];
tab1Label.numberOfLines = 2;
tab1Label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth=YES;
tab1Label.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation (90*3.1459565) / 180);
tab1Label.frame = CGRectMake(2,87,45,119);
[viewForLabels: addSubview: tab1Label];
