Format text label when selecting UITableViewCell

Question

I'm working on a shopping list app, and I'm wanting to format the text as strikethrough when selecting a cell, not quite sure how to implement this.

I'm assuming I should toggle this effect in the didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method, but I'm not sure.

Any thoughts?

I don't know if this is the best way to do it but it's definitely a way

    NSMutableAttributedString *attributeString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:cell.textLabel.text];
    [attributeString addAttribute:NSStrikethroughStyleAttributeName
                            value:@2
                            range:NSMakeRange(0, [attributeString length])];

    [attributeString addAttribute:NSStrikethroughColorAttributeName value:[UIColor redColor] range:NSMakeRange(0, [attributeString length])];

    cell.textLabel.attributedText = attributeString;

You can change the color of the strikethrough as you please.

would this go in the `didSelectRowAtIndexPath:` method? – ENG618 Apr 17 '14 at 06:08
You can use this in `didSelectRowAtIndexPath` to make the text `strikethrough` and in `didDeselectRowAtIndexPath` you can toggle it to previous state. – dispatchMain Apr 17 '14 at 06:10
