Tap Gesture on part of UILabel

Question

I could successfully add tap gestures to a part of UITextView with the following code:

UITextPosition *pos = textView.endOfDocument;// textView ~ UITextView
         


        

Answer 1

Try this. Let your label be label :

  //add gesture recognizer to label
  UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] init];
  [label addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
  //setting a text initially to the label
  [label setText:@"hello world i love iphone"];

 - (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
 {

UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint touchPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];

CGRect rect = label.frame;
CGRect newRect = CGRectMake(rect.origin.x, rect.origin.y, rect.size.width/2, rect.size.height);

if (CGRectContainsPoint(newRect, touchPoint)) {
    NSLog(@"Hello world");
}
}

Clicking on the first half of label will work (It gives log output). Not the other half.
