How Can I Underline the Button Text of UIButton?

Question

The text is coming form a database. I would like to use it for a button and underline the text of the button. How can I do that?

In iOS 6, NSAttributedString is used modifying the text, you can use "NSMutableAttributedString" for multi color text, font, style, etc using single UIButton or UILabel.

NSMutableAttributedString *titleString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"The Underlined text"];

// making text property to underline text-
[titleString addAttribute:NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName value:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:NSUnderlineStyleSingle] range:NSMakeRange(0, [titleString length])];

// using text on button
[button setAttributedTitle: titleString forState:UIControlStateNormal];
