copied!<p>You can do it without subclassing <code>UITableViewCell</code>.</p> <p>In the method <code>tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:</code>, create a basic <code>UITableViewCell</code> and change the properties of the <code>UILabel</code> contained in this cell. Change the maximum number of lines to fit more text in your cell. </p> <p>Unfortunately, the label of the cell is not accessible by properties, so you need to fetch it with the <code>subviews</code> property.</p> <p>Of course this uses an implementation detail of <code>UITableViewCell</code>, so it might break with future releases of the SDK. Use with care.</p> <p>Here is an example:</p> <pre><code>- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { UITableViewCell* cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"YourCellId"]; if (cell == nil) { cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:@"YourCellId"] autorelease]; cell.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:16]; UILabel* cellLabel = [cell.contentView.subviews objectAtIndex:0]; [cellLabel setNumberOfLines:3]; } cell.text = @"Your text"; return cell; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>To set the row height to fit the text, you can do the following:</p> <p><em>1. Set the cell height to fit the text.</em></p> <p>You need something like this:</p> <pre><code>CGSize textSize = [text sizeWithFont:font constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(313, 1000) lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap]; cell.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 320.0, textSize.height); </code></pre> <p><em>2. Return the cell height in the <code>tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath:</code> method.</em></p> <p>For example like this:</p> <pre><code>- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { UITableViewCell* cell = [self tableView:(UITableView*)self.view cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]; CGRect cellFrame = cell.frame; return cellFrame.size.height; } </code></pre>
