I want to create a UILabel
in which the text is like this
How can I do this? When the text is small, the line should also be small.

SWIFT 4 UPDATE CODE
let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Your Text")
attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.strikethroughStyle, value: 2, range: NSMakeRange(0, 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):
Strikethrough patterns (to be OR-ed with the style):
Specify that the strikethrough should only be applied across words (not spaces):
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;
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 ;)
Strikethrough in Swift 4.0
let attributeString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Your Text")
attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedStringKey.strikethroughStyle,
value: NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.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(NSAttributedStringKey.strikethroughStyle, value: NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.rawValue, range: NSMakeRange(0,attributeString.length))
return attributeString
}
}
Call like this
myLabel.attributedText = "my string".strikeThrough()
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()

You can do it in IOS 6 using NSMutableAttributedString.
NSMutableAttributedString *attString=[[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithString:@"$198"];
[attString addAttribute:NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName value:[NSNumber numberWithInt:2] range:NSMakeRange(0,[attString length])];
yourLabel.attributedText = attString;
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
For anyone looking on how to do this in a tableview cell (Swift) you have to set the .attributeText like this:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("TheCell")!
let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: message)
attributeString.addAttribute(NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName, value: 2, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))
cell.textLabel?.attributedText = attributeString
return cell
}
If you want to remove the strikethrough do this otherwise it will stick around!:
cell.textLabel?.attributedText = nil
Swift 5
extension String {
/// Apply strike font on text
func strikeThrough() -> NSAttributedString {
let attributeString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: self)
attributeString.addAttribute(
NSAttributedString.Key.strikethroughStyle,
value: 1,
range: NSRange(location: 0, length: attributeString.length))
return attributeString
}
}
Example:
someLabel.attributedText = someText.strikeThrough()
Swift 4.2
let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: product.price)
attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.strikethroughStyle, value: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))
lblPrice.attributedText = attributeString
Use below code
NSString* strPrice = @"£399.95";
NSMutableAttributedString *titleString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:strPrice];
[finalString addAttribute: NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName value:[NSNumber numberWithInteger: NSUnderlineStyleSingle] range: NSMakeRange(0, [titleString length])];
self.lblOldPrice.attributedText = finalString;
For those who face issue with multi line text strike
let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: item.name!)
//necessary if UILabel text is multilines
attributedString.addAttribute(NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName, value: 0, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributedString.length))
attributedString.addAttribute(NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName, value: NSNumber(value: NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.rawValue), range: NSMakeRange(0, attributedString.length))
attributedString.addAttribute(NSStrikethroughColorAttributeName, value: UIColor.darkGray, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributedString.length))
cell.lblName.attributedText = attributedString
Create String extension and add below method
static func makeSlashText(_ text:String) -> NSAttributedString {
let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text)
attributeString.addAttribute(NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName, value: 2, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))
return attributeString
}
then use for your label like this
yourLabel.attributedText = String.makeSlashText("Hello World!")
This is the one you can use in Swift 4 because NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName has been changed to NSAttributedStringKey.strikethroughStyle
let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Your Text")
attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedStringKey.strikethroughStyle, value: 2, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))
self.lbl.attributedText = attributeString
Change the text property to attributed and select the text and right click to get the font property. Click on the strikethrough.
