Setting NSLinkAttributeName font color

Question

I feel like I'm missing something easy but I can't seem to find out how to do this:

I set the attribute to a link like so:

[myAttrString addAttribute:NSLinkAttributeName value:linkURL range:selectedRange]; 

That works but the link is blue and I can't seem to change the color. This sets everything except the link to white:

[myAttrString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor whiteColor] range:selectedRange]; 

Is there another color attribute name that I can't seem to find that is specific to links?

Answer 1

1. Use a UITextView

2. Set the UITextView's linkTextAttributes like so:

   textView.linkTextAttributes = @{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor whiteColor]}; 

Answer 2

I actually ended up using TTTAttributedLabel for my label and then was able to do the following which worked perfectly:

NSDictionary *linkAttributes = @{(id)kCTForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor whiteColor],                                  (id)kCTUnderlineStyleAttributeName: [NSNumber numberWithInt:kCTUnderlineStyleSingle]                                  }; self.lblDescription.linkAttributes = linkAttributes;
