IOS: I cannot show my label multiline

Question

I have a problem with UILabel. I want to show the comments multiline. But they are single line. This is my code:

CGRect currentFrame = comment.frame;
CGSize max = CGSizeMake(comment.frame.size.width,20000.0f);
CGSize expected = [comment.text sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:10.0] constrainedToSize:max lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
currentFrame.size.height = expected.height;
comment.frame = currentFrame;
comment.numberOfLines = 0;
[comment sizeToFit];

But the result is not good. Where am I wrong?

Are you setting the UILabel to a 10pt font size to be consistent with your expected height? — Mike M, Aug 17 '12 at 11:26

Your code is okay, but you should add this line in your code to get multi line

comment.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;

I think you should increase the number of lines like

comment.numberOfLines = 2  /* or more */

So when the text size increase the width of label it will be multy line but keep in mind about font size and lable size ration

As I know, comment.numberOfLines = 0 means there is no limit with the lines. So that is what I need. I cannot do that. – cagatay celebioglu Aug 17 '12 at 11:15
