I want to underline the UILabel text as hyperlink

UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20.0, 220.0, 160.0, 30.0)];
myLabel.text = @"click here";

How can i make the above string to be underlined ?

Thanks for any help

Answer 1

Create a UIView with a height of 1 and a background color of black, and stick it below the label. Alternatively, you can use CoreText to render an attributed string with an underline, though that requires a bit more work.

Answer 2

You'll have to subclass the UILabel and do the drawing in

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
   // Do underlined drawing here...
}
