How to do vertical alignment for UILabels

I wrote something about that but I don't remember where :). Anyway, the easiest way is to add a method to the UILabel class.

Include in your file (or create a new one) this interface to extend the current UILabel one:

@interface UILabel (VerticalAlign)

- (void)alignTop;

@end

Add the method code in the .m file:

- (void)alignTop {

    CGSize fontSize = [self.text sizeWithFont:self.font];

    double finalHeight = fontSize.height * self.numberOfLines;

    double finalWidth = self.frame.size.width;    

    CGSize theStringSize = [self.text sizeWithFont:self.font constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(finalWidth, finalHeight) lineBreakMode:self.lineBreakMode];

    int newLinesToPad =
(finalHeight  - theStringSize.height) / fontSize.height;

    for(int i=0; i

        self.text = [self.text stringByAppendingString:@"\n "];

}

Done, now you can use this new method

[YourUILabel alignTop];

Hope help!
