How can I create a UILabel with strikethrough text?

by

SWIFT 5 UPDATE CODE

let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Your Text")
    attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.strikethroughStyle, value: 2, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: attributeString.length))

then:

yourLabel.attributedText = attributeString

To make some part of string to strike then provide range

let somePartStringRange = (yourStringHere as NSString).range(of: "Text")
attributeString.addAttribute(NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName, value: 2, range: somePartStringRange)

Objective-C

In iOS 6.0 > UILabel supports NSAttributedString

NSMutableAttributedString *attributeString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Your String here"];
[attributeString addAttribute:NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName
                        value:@2
                        range:NSMakeRange(0, [attributeString length])];

Swift

let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString =  NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Your String here")
attributeString.addAttribute(NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName, value: 2, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))

Definition :

- (void)addAttribute:(NSString *)name value:(id)value range:(NSRange)aRange

Parameters List:

name : A string specifying the attribute name. Attribute keys can be supplied by another framework or can be custom ones you define. For information about where to find the system-supplied attribute keys, see the overview section in NSAttributedString Class Reference.

value : The attribute value associated with name.

aRange : The range of characters to which the specified attribute/value pair applies.

Then

yourLabel.attributedText = attributeString;

For lesser than iOS 6.0 versions you need 3-rd party component to do this.
One of them is TTTAttributedLabel, another is OHAttributedLabel.
