Hiding and showing UILabel with rounded corner and shadow in Swift 2

Question

I am using this method Swift - Problems with corner radius and drop shadow to add rounded corners and shadow to a UILabel.

However, I need to hide and unhide the label depending on content. I am setting hidden true/false in my ViewController class. But the shadow layer still shows.

See example images below.

What is the best way to hide/unhide this shadow layer as well?

Set the alpha to 0. View.alpha = 0 – Lukesivi Jan 17 '16 at 18:08 — Lukesivi, Jan 17 '16 at 18:08
Thanks, that seems to have worked. – Ram Iyer Jan 20 '16 at 07:02 — Ram Iyer, Jan 20 '16 at 07:02
