    Agree this should be closed as a dupe. Raju - please can you try searching rather than just posting new questions. You are wasting everyone elses time. It might also help the general goodwill if you marked a few of the questions you asked as answered. – Rog Jun 08 '09 at 09:25

someButton.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;

Be sure to try to get in the habit of consulting the documentation before posting a question. Apple's documentation is pretty comprehensive, and things like this generally get covered.

Hi,

There is a property of UIButton called lineBreakMode which will allow you to add multiline titles. The two main things I would set it to are UILineBreakModeWordWrap or UILineBreakModeCharacterWrap.

UILineBreakModeWordWrap wraps the last word and UILineBreakModeCharacterWrap wraps at the lastcharcter.

looks like: instanceOfUIButton.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;

or instanceOfUIButton.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeCharacterWrap;

hope that's what your after

Please don't use subviews.

someButton.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;

this is the right way to do this. There is a tutorial on this for the German community!

  • Please do more than just post a link; summarize the link so that this answer can stand on its own in case that link breaks. – George Stocker Nov 06 '12 at 19:25

UIButton doesn't display multiple lines. The way to make it do so is to addSubview a UILabel to the button
