How to decrease the UIFont size and show large sentence one line UILabel iPhone?

Question

I have an UILabel in my iPhone app. I want to show large sentence in UILabel in a single line. That means I want to decrease the font size and show the full text in a visible area. I don't want to show it in multiple lines. Can anyone please help me to do this?

My code is:

textViewLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(8, 5, 194, 20)];
textViewLabel.text = @"I have an UILabel in my iPhone app. I have want";
textViewLabel.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
textViewLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:14];
textViewLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
textViewLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

CGSize maximumLabelsize2 = CGSizeMake(194,20);
CGSize expectedLabelsize2 = [result sizeWithFont:textViewLabel.font constrainedToSize:maximumLabelsize2 lineBreakMode:textViewLabel.lineBreakMode]; 
CGRect messagesFrame = textViewLabel.frame;
messagesFrame.size.height = expectedLabelsize2.height;
textViewLabel.frame = messagesFrame;

Any one please help me to do this? Thanks in advance.

That bit about [`textViewLabel.numberOfLines`](http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/DOCUMENTATION/UIKit/Reference/UILabel_Class/Reference/UILabel.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UILabel/numberOfLines) might be important. — rickster, Jul 20 '12 at 05:27

change numberOfLines property from

textViewLabel.numberOfLines = 0; // 0 means as many lines as needed

to

textViewLabel.numberOfLines = 1;

add

textViewLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES;

Conside setting

textViewLabel.minimumFontSize = someValue; // default is 0.0
