Default properties of UIAlertView

[wesgood]

Part of my job for the last few days has been to update an application that another design studio created. They chose to subclass UIAlertView, which I wouldn't have necessarily done, but now I need to make sure their code works for all of the conditions.

To do that, I need to know the default size and font of the title and message inside an alertview. No details about the alertview are available through properties, so I'm left guessing. The problem I'm trying to solve involves correctly counting the number of lines required to display text, and I need a reasonable font comparison to do that.

I'd start with the UIFont class reference. UIFont has some meaningful class methods:

+ labelFontSize
+ buttonFontSize
+ smallSystemFontSize
+ systemFontSize

I'd suspect the alertview probably uses the labelFontSize.

Additionally you have

+ systemFontOfSize:
+ boldSystemFontOfSize:

This will give you the font being useed.
