How can I create a UILabel with strikethrough text?
SWIFT 5 UPDATE CODE
let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Your Text")
attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.strikethroughStyle, value: 2, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: attributeString.length))
then:
yourLabel.attributedText = attributeString
To make some part of string to strike then provide range
let somePartStringRange = (yourStringHere as NSString).range(of: "Text")
attributeString.addAttribute(NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName, value: 2, range: somePartStringRange)
Objective-C
In iOS 6.0 > UILabel
supports NSAttributedString
NSMutableAttributedString *attributeString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Your String here"];
[attributeString addAttribute:NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName
value:@2
range:NSMakeRange(0, [attributeString length])];
Swift
let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Your String here")
attributeString.addAttribute(NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName, value: 2, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))
Definition :
- (void)addAttribute:(NSString *)name value:(id)value range:(NSRange)aRange
Parameters List:
name : A string specifying the attribute name. Attribute keys can be supplied by another framework or can be custom ones you define. For information about where to find the system-supplied attribute keys, see the overview section in NSAttributedString Class Reference.
value : The attribute value associated with name.
aRange : The range of characters to which the specified attribute/value pair applies.
Then
yourLabel.attributedText = attributeString;
For lesser than iOS 6.0 versions
you need 3-rd party component
to do this.
One of them is TTTAttributedLabel, another is OHAttributedLabel.
In Swift, using the single strikethrough line style:
let attributedText = NSAttributedString(
string: "Label Text",
attributes: [.strikethroughStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue]
)
label.attributedText = attributedText
Additional strikethrough styles (Remember to use the .rawValue):
.none
.single
.thick
.double
Strikethrough patterns (to be OR-ed with the style):
.patternDot
.patternDash
.patternDashDot
.patternDashDotDot
Specify that the strikethrough should only be applied across words (not spaces):
.byWord
I prefer NSAttributedString
rather than NSMutableAttributedString
for this simple case:
NSAttributedString * title =
[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"$198"
attributes:@{NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName:@(NSUnderlineStyleSingle)}];
[label setAttributedText:title];
Constants for specifying both the NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName
and NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName
attributes of an attributed string:
typedef enum : NSInteger {
NSUnderlineStyleNone = 0x00,
NSUnderlineStyleSingle = 0x01,
NSUnderlineStyleThick = 0x02,
NSUnderlineStyleDouble = 0x09,
NSUnderlinePatternSolid = 0x0000,
NSUnderlinePatternDot = 0x0100,
NSUnderlinePatternDash = 0x0200,
NSUnderlinePatternDashDot = 0x0300,
NSUnderlinePatternDashDotDot = 0x0400,
NSUnderlineByWord = 0x8000
} NSUnderlineStyle;
