    <p>I'm trying to indent the text in a UILabel to leave some margin around the text showing the background colour. Following the suggestion <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3476646/uilabel-text-margin">here</a> I've overriden <code>textRectForBounds:limitedToNumberOfLines:</code> like so:</p> <pre><code>- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds limitedToNumberOfLines:(NSInteger)numberOfLines { CGRect intermediate = CGRectMake(bounds.origin.x+MARGIN,bounds.origin.y+MARGIN,bounds.size.width-2*MARGIN,bounds.size.height-2*MARGIN); return [super textRectForBounds:intermediate limitedToNumberOfLines:numberOfLines]; } </code></pre> <p>But no matter what I do, the text ends up tight against the left border of the rectangle. It seems as though the drawing is ignoring the origin part of the returned CGRect (although it seems to be respecting the width part, as if I reduce to width of intermediate to eg <code>bounds.size.width-200</code> the rect that textRectForBounds returns is suitably narrow and the text is drawn in a long skinny column).</p> <p>So: what else I need to do to the <code>UILabel</code> to make the drawing respect the <code>textForRectBounds</code>-returned-rect's origin.x and origin.y? I'd rather not override <code>UILabel</code>'s <code>drawTextInRect</code> if I can help it.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: This was a long time ago and I can't remember exactly why the other question didn't work for me. I believe it was because I was trying to have a <code>UILabel</code> with multiple lines, and the solution <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3476646/uilabel-text-margin">here</a> didn't work in that case.</p>

    1. COHave you tried returning `intermediate` directly?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
