Is this possible to achieve something like that on iOS simply using UILabel + UIView ?
I've tried using a UIWebView but it's too slow to be used in a UITableView.
That style using UILabel ? http://cl.ly/f9d4f776171e1cb6faaf/content

You want 1 label or 2 labels? – kennytm Aug 11 '10 at 10:37

I don't mind. I think that one way to do it is using two label. The only thing is that the NSString that I want to display is not always the same length. – Pierre Valade Aug 11 '10 at 10:41

I don't get your idea. You want to display a Text with textColor is white and background is red? – vodkhang Aug 11 '10 at 10:41

But still I know that two lines is maximum. – Pierre Valade Aug 11 '10 at 10:41

@vodkhang I have the NSString @"This a test for iOS and I like it" and I want to display two labels. But the length of the NSString changes. – Pierre Valade Aug 11 '10 at 10:43

Something like this
lbl.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
lbl.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
Assuming lbl is a UILabel object.

This will add a rectangle red background. Not exactly what I'm looking for. – Pierre Valade Aug 11 '10 at 10:53

lbl.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20];

If you want to make such a text, you need to set it like this, (change text color, back ground color and font size). lbl.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; lbl.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; lbl.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20]; IF the string is not of same length, you can set the Font Size in IB to "Adjust to fit", or lbl.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES OR, you can change the label frame size with string size. You can get the current string length in pixel using NSString.sizeWithFont method in UIKit framework. – karim Aug 12 '10 at 10:27
