If you look in the NSString (UIStringDrawing) documentation, you'll see that NSString has a -sizeWithFont: method that returns a CGSize, which will be the bounding box for that string when its drawn with the passed in UIFont. You can then use that size as part of the CGRect for constructing a UILabel.

If you need to control things like wordwrap and whatnot, check out the related methods.

Hi
I am new to iPhone application development and please help me on this.
I need to add the contents in a text field to a UILabel. But I can't guess how long the string in the text field be. There fore, can I make a UILabel from the text ( I mean to fit the text to UILabel size). I have searched but
could not find a solution. Please help me on this with some code.
I think if I get a CGRect object with some string it could set as UILabel's
frame. can you suggest some code segment to do this.
Thank you
Tharindu
