How can I create a UILabel with strikethrough text?

Question

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 enum for single strikethrough line style:

let attrString = NSAttributedString(string: "Label Text", attributes: [NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName: NSUnderlineStyle.StyleSingle.rawValue])
label.attributedText = attrString

Additional strikethrough styles (Remember to access the enum using .rawValue):

• NSUnderlineStyle.StyleNone
• NSUnderlineStyle.StyleSingle
• NSUnderlineStyle.StyleThick
• NSUnderlineStyle.StyleDouble

Strikethrough patterns (to be OR-ed with the style):

• NSUnderlineStyle.PatternDot
• NSUnderlineStyle.PatternDash
• NSUnderlineStyle.PatternDashDot
• NSUnderlineStyle.PatternDashDotDot

Specify that the strikethrough should only be applied across words (not spaces):

• NSUnderlineStyle.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;  

Strikethrough in Swift 5.0

let attributeString =  NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Your Text")
attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.strikethroughStyle,
                                     value: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue,
                                         range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))
self.yourLabel.attributedText = attributeString

It worked for me like a charm.

Use it as extension

extension String {
    func strikeThrough() -> NSAttributedString {
        let attributeString =  NSMutableAttributedString(string: self)
        attributeString.addAttribute(
            NSAttributedString.Key.strikethroughStyle,
               value: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue,
                   range:NSMakeRange(0,attributeString.length))
        return attributeString
    }
}

Call like this

myLabel.attributedText = "my string".strikeThrough()

UILabel extension for strikethrough Enable/Disable.

extension UILabel {

func strikeThrough(_ isStrikeThrough:Bool) {
    if isStrikeThrough {
        if let lblText = self.text {
            let attributeString =  NSMutableAttributedString(string: lblText)
            attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.strikethroughStyle, value: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue, range: NSMakeRange(0,attributeString.length))
            self.attributedText = attributeString
        }
    } else {
        if let attributedStringText = self.attributedText {
            let txt = attributedStringText.string
            self.attributedText = nil
            self.text = txt
            return
        }
    }
    }
}

Use it like this :

   yourLabel.strikeThrough(btn.isSelected) // true OR false

SWIFT CODE

let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString =  NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Your Text")
    attributeString.addAttribute(NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName, value: 2, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))

then:

yourLabel.attributedText = attributeString

Thanks to Prince answer ;)

SWIFT 4

    let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString =  NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Your Text Goes Here")
    attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedStringKey.strikethroughStyle, value: NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.rawValue, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))
    self.lbl_productPrice.attributedText = attributeString

Other method is to used String Extension
Extension

extension String{
    func strikeThrough()->NSAttributedString{
        let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString =  NSMutableAttributedString(string: self)
        attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedStringKey.strikethroughStyle, value: NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.rawValue, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))
        return attributeString
    }
}

Calling the function : Used it like so

testUILabel.attributedText = "Your Text Goes Here!".strikeThrough()

Strike out UILabel text in Swift iOS. PLease try this it's working for me

let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:"12345")
                      attributedString.addAttribute(NSAttributedStringKey.baselineOffset, value: 0, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributedString.length))
                      attributedString.addAttribute(NSAttributedStringKey.strikethroughStyle, value: NSNumber(value: NSUnderlineStyle.styleThick.rawValue), range: NSMakeRange(0, attributedString.length))
                      attributedString.addAttribute(NSAttributedStringKey.strikethroughColor, value: UIColor.gray, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributedString.length))

 yourLabel.attributedText = attributedString

You can change your "strikethroughStyle" like styleSingle, styleThick,styleDouble
