[ios] How to make UIButton's text alignment center? Using IB

I can't set the title of UIButton using IB as center. My title is multi line.
It is giving like this one

But I want like this one

I have given space in this but I don't want to do that. As it is not aligned exactly for some cases and I know there is a property of UILabel to set the alignment but I don't want to write a code for that.. just want to set everything from IB.

Thanks

This will make exactly what you were expecting:

Objective-C:

 [myButton.titleLabel setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];

For iOS 6 or higher it's

 [myButton.titleLabel setTextAlignment: NSTextAlignmentCenter];

as explained in tyler53's answer

Swift:

myButton.titleLabel?.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center

Swift 4.x and above

myButton.titleLabel?.textAlignment = .center

For Swift 3.0

btn.titleLabel?.textAlignment = .center

Actually you can do it in interface builder.

You should set Title to "Attributed" and then choose center alignment.

For ios 8 and Swift

btn.titleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center

or

btn.titleLabel.textAlignment = .Center

For those of you who are now using iOS 6 or higher, UITextAlignmentCenter has been deprecated. It is now NSTextAlignmentCenter

EXAMPLE: mylabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter; Works perfectly.

UITextAlignmentCenter is deprecated in iOS6

Instead you can use this code:

btn.titleLabel.textAlignment=NSTextAlinmentCenter;

You can do this from storyboard. Select your button. Set Line Break 'Word Wrap', Set your title 'Plain' to 'Attributed'. Select 'Center alignment'. This part is important => Click ...(More) Button. And select line breaking mode to 'Character Wrap'.

Use the line:

myButton.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;

This should center the content (horizontally).

And if you want to set the text inside the label to the center as well, use:

[labelOne setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];

If you want to use IB, I've got a small example here which is linked in XCode 4 but should provide enough detail (also mind, on top of that properties screen it shows the property tab. You can find the same tabs in XCode 3.x):

For UIButton you should use:-

[btn setContentHorizontalAlignment:UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter];

Try Like this :

yourButton.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
yourButton.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;

UIButton will not support setTextAlignment. So You need to go with setContentHorizontalAlignment for button text alignment

For your reference

[buttonName setContentHorizontalAlignment:UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter];

Assuming that btn refers to a UIButton, to change a multi-line caption to be centered horizontally, you can use the following statement in iOS 6 or later:

self.btn.titleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;

For swift 4, xcode 9

myButton.contentHorizontalAlignment = .center

For Swift 4:

@IBAction func myButton(sender: AnyObject) {
    sender.titleLabel?.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.center
    sender.setTitle("Some centered String", for:UIControlState.normal)
}
