how to remove three dots from UILabel?

I have a UILabel that contains text that is bigger than the label size. (The UILabel has 2 lines.)

The UILabel is showing the three dots (ellipsis) on iOS. I do not want label to show this dots. How can I make them not show?

Answer 1

Set the label's lineBreakMode to .ByClipping(Swift) or NSLineBreakByClipping(Objective-C).

when label text "text 1 text 2 text 3 text 4 \n \n \n \n \n \n" in this case when first line is"text 1 text 2 text 3" there are still 3 dots after "text 4 " on second line . In other cases like for same label uses text"text 1 text 1 text 1 text 1 text 1 text 1 text 1 text 1 text 1" It can help – Battalion

i fix it by adding space character " " var theLabelTextString = "text 1 text 1 text 1 text 1" for iter in 0...20 { theLabelTextString += " " } – Battalion

using both lineBreakMode and many space character " " before \n \n \n \n \n \n solved my case . thanks – Battalion

You can also do this in Interface Builder's UILabel settings. Set Line Breaks to Clip – Bleary

1.Increase height of label as I did so that 2 lines fit.

2.select label, go to attributes inspector

3.select Line Breaks = Word Wrap

4.also increase lines, like 2,3

changing line break in attributes inspector

Answer 5

If you don't want to fit the size or show the three dots, you need to set your label like this.

Objective-C

[label setLineBreakMode: NSLineBreakByClipping];

Swift

label.lineBreakMode = .byClipping
