Corner Radius property of UILabel is not working in iOS 7.1

Question

I am setting the cornerRadius property for UILabel. Its working fine all version of iOS < 7.1. Following code i have used,

UILabel *originaltagLbl = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(startX, startY, 100,30)];     [originaltagLbl setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"MuseoSans-500" size:15]]; [originaltagLbl setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter]; [originaltagLbl setTextColor:UIColorFromRGB(0xffffff)]; originaltagLbl.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; originaltagLbl.layer.cornerRadius = 5; originaltagLbl.layer.borderColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor; originaltagLbl.layer.borderWidth = 1; [scrollView addSubview:originaltagLbl]; 

if i use this, just simply displaying the label as rectanglular box, So how to set the corner radius of UILabel in iOS 7.1

Answer 1

Add the next line to your code:

// Swift: originaltagLbl.layer.masksToBounds = true  // Objective C: originaltagLbl.layer.masksToBounds = YES; 

For information see this SO answer, or read documentation.
