How to show text in UILabel as secured in iphone [closed]

Question

I'm using UILabel for displaying the year value which i select through UIPickerView. I want the year field to be secure. In UITextfield we will use setSecureTextEntry, do we have anything similar for UILabel?

Thanks

I am not sure I really understand your question, but assuming you want to display asterisks in place of text in the label, just get the length of the string you would normally display and replace the characters with asterisks:

NSString *myPickerValue = @"MyPickerValue";
self.myLabel.text = [@"" stringByPaddingToLength: [myPickerValue length] withString: @"*" startingAtIndex:0];
