Text not displaying on UILabel when the text is too large.

If u want to display more than 1000 lines of text then its better to use UITextView instead of Uilabel. you can use the following code for UITextView

UITextView *commentsTextLabel = [[UITextView alloc] init];
    commentsTextLabel.frame=CGRectMake(20, 20, 280,100);
    commentsTextLabel.text = story;
    commentsTextLabel.editable=NO;
    commentsTextLabel.scrollEnabled=YES;
    //commentsTextLabel.numberOfLines=1;
    commentsTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    //[commentsTextLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    //[commentsTextLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:17]];
    commentsTextLabel.font=[UIFont systemFontOfSize:17];
    commentsTextLabel.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
    [self.view addSubview:commentsTextLabel];

hope this will help you.
