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

Answer 1

The idea is to use library such as TTTAttributedLabel and using it this way :

Consider the following string "I want to be touchable here" where here will perform a segue on touch.

• Create TTTAttributedLabel (UILabel subclass), and put text content in it, as if it was a UILabel. Set its delegate to self. Then, add a link to a word this way :

Objective C

NSRange rangeWord = [attributedLabel.text rangeOfString:@"here"];
[attributedLabel addLinkToURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"anActionOnClickHere"] withRange:rangeUser];

Swift

NSRange rangeWord = attributedLabel.text.rangeOfString("here")
attributedLabel.addLinkToURL(NSURL(string: "anActionOnClickHere"), withRange:rangeUser)

• On clicking words it will call this method in which you can handle the click :

Objective C

- (void)attributedLabel:(__unused TTTAttributedLabel *)label
   didSelectLinkWithURL:(NSURL *)url {
    NSString *urlToString = [url absoluteString];

    if ([urlToString containsString:@"anActionOnClickHere"]) { //perform segue for example
        [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"hereSegue" sender:self];
    }
}

Swift

func attributedLabel(label: TTTAttributedLabel!, didSelectLinkWithURL url: NSURL!) {
    NSString *urlToString = url.absoluteString()
    if (urlToString.containsString("anActionOnClickHere")) { //perform segue for example 
        self.performSegueWithIdentifier("hereSegue",sender:self)
    } 
}

With the default link style, you'll get the blue color that you're looking for.
