Answer 1

There is no simple way to underline text in iPhone OS 3.1 and earlier. You'll need to query the UILabel displaying your text to determine its position and draw the underline yourself.

If you are targeting only the iPad (iPhone OS 3.2 and later), then you can make use of Core Text and NSAttributedString.

Answer 2

I've created an UILabel subclass, which supports:

• multiline text with various label bounds (text can be in the middle of label frame, or accurate size)
• underline
• strikeout
• underline/strikeout line offset
• text alignment
• different font sizes
