Question: I did by code the following:

```
UILabel  * label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(40, 70, 300, 50)];
    label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter; // UITextAlignmentCenter, UITextAlignmentLeft
    label.textColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
    label.text = @"Telechargez et consultez les catalogues et les tarifs de la gamme Audi au format PDF";
    [self.view addSubview:label];

```

And it looks like [this](http://i56.tinypic.com/2w2oig9.png)
but I want it to look like [this](http://i51.tinypic.com/fxux50.png). How to change the label's properties?

Answer: 
Set Numberoflines property of your label and then also increase some width of your lable so your label can shows proper. 

This property controls the maximum number of lines to use in order to fit the label’s text into its bounding rectangle. The default value for this property is 1. To remove any maximum limit, and use as many lines as needed, set the value of this property to 0.

If you constrain your text using this property, any text that does not fit within the maximum number of lines and inside the bounding rectangle of the label is truncated using the appropriate line break mode.

here is how to create UILabel Programmatically..

1) Write this in .h file of your project.

```
UILabel *label;

```

2) Write this in .m file of your project.

```
label=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 70, 50, 50)];//Set frame of label in your viewcontroller.
[label setBackgroundColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor]];//Set background color of label.
[label setText:@"Label"];//Set text in label.
[label setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];//Set text color in label.
[label setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];//Set text alignment in label.
[label setBaselineAdjustment:UIBaselineAdjustmentAlignBaselines];//Set line adjustment.
[label setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByCharWrapping];//Set linebreaking mode..
[label setNumberOfLines:1];//Set number of lines in label.
[label.layer setCornerRadius:25.0];//Set corner radius of label to change the shape.
[label.layer setBorderWidth:2.0f];//Set border width of label.
[label setClipsToBounds:YES];//Set its to YES for Corner radius to work.
[label.layer setBorderColor:[UIColor blackColor].CGColor];//Set Border color.
[self.view addSubview:label];//Add it to the view of your choice.
