Turn some parts of UILabel to act like a UIButton? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I recommend you try this library out

https://github.com/null09264/FRHyperLabel

Great library, easy to use and has few built in examples for you to try out. Examples are in both Objective-c and Swift

Example in Swift

 let str = "This is a random bit of text"
        let attributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.blackColor(),
                          NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(15)]
        confirmLabel.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: str, attributes: attributes)

        let handler = {
            (hyperLabel: FRHyperLabel!, substring: String!) -> Void in

            //action here
        }
        //Step 3: Add link substrings
        confirmLabel.setLinksForSubstrings(["random"], withLinkHandler: handler)

Edit:

If you want to get rid of the underline, best way to do this is to follow the advice that DeyaEldeen gave in the comment.

If you go to the .m file of FRHyperLabel, go to this method

- (void)checkInitialization {
    if (!self.handlerDictionary) {
        self.handlerDictionary = [NSMutableDictionary new];
    }

    if (!self.userInteractionEnabled) {
        self.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
    }

    if (!self.linkAttributeDefault) {
        self.linkAttributeDefault = @{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: FRHyperLabelLinkColorDefault,
                                      NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName: @(NSUnderlineStyleSingle)};
    }

    if (!self.linkAttributeHighlight) {
        self.linkAttributeHighlight = @{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: FRHyperLabelLinkColorHighlight,
                                        NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName: @(NSUnderlineStyleSingle)};
    }
}

And you can just remove this

NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName: @(NSUnderlineStyleSingle)

from the attributes
