set label border in iphone

Question

How can I set label's border which is dynamically generated (Not from Interface Builder)?

Answer 1

you can do it by

Label.layer.borderColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;
Label.layer.borderWidth = 4.0;

before this you need to import a framework QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h

Answer 2

Swift version

Set label border

label.layer.borderWidth = 2.0

Set border color

label.layer.borderColor = UIColor.blueColor().CGColor

Use rounded corners

label.layer.cornerRadius = 8

Make background color stay within rounded corners

label.layer.masksToBounds = true
