Height of UILabel
The only realiable way to calculate height of the string is this one. Use it or soon you'll find out that for some combination of string/font/width you label is not high enough.
There is solution, everything else will fail (yes, all UIKIt methods, and CTFramesetterSuggestFrameSizeWithConstraints will fail as well)
+ (CGFloat)heightForAttributedString:(NSAttributedString *)attrString forWidth:(CGFloat)inWidth
{
CGFloat H = 0;
// Create the framesetter with the attributed string.
CTFramesetterRef framesetter = CTFramesetterCreateWithAttributedString( (CFMutableAttributedStringRef) attrString);
CGRect box = CGRectMake(0,0, inWidth, CGFLOAT_MAX);
CFIndex startIndex = 0;
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddRect(path, NULL, box);
// Create a frame for this column and draw it.
CTFrameRef frame = CTFramesetterCreateFrame(framesetter, CFRangeMake(startIndex, 0), path, NULL);
// Start the next frame at the first character not visible in this frame.
//CFRange frameRange = CTFrameGetVisibleStringRange(frame);
//startIndex += frameRange.length;
CFArrayRef lineArray = CTFrameGetLines(frame);
CFIndex j = 0, lineCount = CFArrayGetCount(lineArray);
CGFloat h, ascent, descent, leading;
for (j=0; j < lineCount; j++)
{
CTLineRef currentLine = (CTLineRef)CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(lineArray, j);
CTLineGetTypographicBounds(currentLine, &ascent, &descent, &leading);
h = ascent + descent + leading;
H+=h;
}
CFRelease(frame);
CFRelease(path);
CFRelease(framesetter);
return H;
}
