Formatted text in UILabel on iPhone

Question

Our requirement is to show some text bold and some text as normal style in a label.

e.g. ABC 002
(there is not space between ABC and 002)

There are lots of instances of such labels on a single view, so using UIWebView is not preferred.

Is it possible using the UILabel? If no, then what are the alternatives?

you have to use two diffrent labels. – Rupesh Mar 14 '12 at 04:57 — Rupesh, Mar 14 '12 at 04:57

Using normal UILabel dont think this is possible.

Check out this replacement for UILabel TTTAttributedLabel.

Another way is to use a CATextLayer with an NSAttributedString ! much lighter and simpler than 2 UILabels. (iOS 3.2 and above) as suggested here - Bold & Non-Bold Text In A Single UILabel?

Another way is to use 2 UILabels and position them correctly relative to each other Check out this topic from a previous Stack Overflow.

For making the such labels you might have to use TTStyledTextLabel of Three20 libraries, which allows different styles on the same object of text.
