How to add multiple lines in a single UILabel??

Answer 1

Yes there is a way. Just you need to add two property of UILabel i.e.
NumberOfLines=0 It'll allow you to add multiple lines in a UILabel
LineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping It'll allow you to break your sentence by word. You can also change it according to your requirement.
[YourLabel setNumberOfLines:0];
[YourLabel setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
You can also set this two property form your interface builder

here is a sample code
UILabel *pHolder1 = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 0, 245, 45)];
pHolder1.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
pHolder1.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0f];
pHolder1.numberOfLines =0;
pHolder1.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
pHolder1.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
Dynamically calculate the height of UILabel

Answer 3

Here is sample code:
UILabel *lblUsername=[[UILabel alloc] init];
StoryTextSize = [storytext sizeWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Georgia" size:13.0f] constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(300, MAXFLOAT) lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
lblUsername.frame=CGRectMake(20, 5, [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width-40, StoryTextSize.height);
lblUsername.textColor=[UIColor blackColor];
lblUsername.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[tblRecords objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"username"]];
lblStoryText.numberOfLines=nooflines;
lblStoryText.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
[self.view addSubview:lblStoryText];
make sure that your label height should be more so total no of lines become visible.
