Answer 1

Hard to know for sure what you're asking as you didn't include the errors you're getting. Have you added the QuartzCore framework to your project and #import <QuartzCore/CALayer.h> to the file modifying the layer? If that's not it, add the errors and more info to your question.

EDIT: you can also #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> as suggested in the comments. QuartzCore.h includes CALayer.h along with the rest of the QuartzCore components.

Answer 2

I was facing the same problem, using a UILabel with backgroundColor in a cell, and added this to work correctly :

label.layer.cornerRadius=8.0;
label.clipsToBounds=YES;

Should be cell.offLimitsLabel.clipsToBounds=true – Condonation

Answer 3

Just add #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> in your .m file

and suppose you have a UILabel *myLabel;

just do [myLabel.layer setCornerRadius:20]; //value '20' can be changed according to your wish :)

Just one tip (I had to add this line to make it work): myLabel.layer.masksToBounds = YES; – Rottweiler

Answer 4

This simple code enough for RoundLabel

LabelName.layer.cornerRadius = LableName.frame.size.height/2;
LabelName.layer.masksToBounds = YES;

I would create a view with rounded corners and add the label to that view.
