set dots at the end of UIButton if title is long

Question

I have a UIButton, I want to set title for it with a long text. e.g: @"set dots at the end of UIButton if title is long"

I used:

[btn setTitle:@"set dots at the end of UIButton if title is long" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

--> btn appear as: "set dots...at the"

Now I want to show "set dots at the..."

How I can do?

Thanks All!

Answer 1

Surprisingly, there is no existing post about this for a button label.

Simply do:

[btn setTitle:@"set dots at the end of UIButton if title is long" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
btn.titleLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail;

Accessing the button's titleLabel lets you adjust the button's label attributes as needed when a direct UIButton method doesn't exist.

Answer 2

In storyboard after select button go to attribute inspector and set lineBreak property to Truncate Tail.
