How to change truncate characters in UILabel?

Question

When the text of a UILabel gets truncated there are 3 dots inserted by default. Is it possible to change these characters or disable them?

Answer 1

As Javanator said you would have to do your own truncation. You shuld use the sizeWithFont:forWidth:lineBreakMode: message on the UIKit additions to NSString class to get the width of a string with a certain font. This will handle all types of fonts.
