UILabel Truncation

I have text like this: "My text is blabla blabla, lala lala ".

I would like to have the text in my UILabel like this: "My text is ...lala".

How can I configure my UILabel to display the text to have the ellipsis in the middle?

Try to select the label, then in attribute inspector set line break to truncate middle image reference

The word you are looking for is "ellipsis" ;)

Set the following properties:

label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = false;
label.lineBreakMode = .byTruncatingMiddle;

You can also set these properties in interface builder.

Example stolen from here: Getting UILabel to produce an ellipsis rather than shrinking the font

UPDATE:

This was deprecated in iOS 6. The current solution would be the slightly modified:

label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = NO;
label.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingMiddle

@DerekTomes answer in Swift 2.x:

label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = false
label.lineBreakMode = .ByTruncatingMiddle
