UIStringAttributes Class

Definition

Strongly-typed helper to define UIKit attributes for use with NSAttributedString.

public class UIStringAttributes : Foundation.DictionaryContainer
type UIStringAttributes = class
    inherit DictionaryContainer
Inheritance
UIStringAttributes

Remarks

You use this class to create attributes that can be used with both NSAttributedString and NSMutableAttributedString. Since this class is strongly typed, you will get code completion as well as avoid common mistakes when using attributed strings with UIKit.

//
// Using NSAttributedString with UIKit
//
var myText = new NSAttributedString ("Hello, world",
    new UIStringAttributes () {
        ForegroundColor = UIColor.Red,
        KerningAdjustment = 3,
    });
label.AttributedText = myText;
