Question

Can anyone suggest how to underline the title of a UIButton ? I have a UIButton of Custom type, and I want the Title to be underlined, but the Interface Builder does not pr

Answer 1

The Swift 5.0 version that works as of September 2019 in Xcode 10.3:

extension UIButton {
  func underlineText() {
    guard let title = title(for: .normal) else { return }

    let titleString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: title)
    titleString.addAttribute(
      .underlineStyle,
      value: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue,
      range: NSRange(location: 0, length: title.count)
    )
    setAttributedTitle(titleString, for: .normal)
  }
}

To use it, set your button title first with button.setTitle("Button Title", for: .normal) and then call button.underlineText() to make that title underlined.
