UILabel background color

Hey guys,

does anyone know how to change the background color of a UILabel? I create a frame and pass the frame for the initialization to the label. By default the label's background comes out white, but I'd like it to be either black or transparent.

Thanks!

Sure, this can be done like this...

Code:

//pretend the name of you label is myLabel
myLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];

--or--

myLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

Pick either the top line or the bottom or any other color you want. Hope that helped.

Yes but that is OK when you write your code into the process :

Code:

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {

....
}

But if you write your code for example into

Code:

- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component {
...
}

This is a méthod of a pickerViewController.

That isn't OK , your label don't change the color background

Then what you purpose ?
