iOS Making a phone # clickable?

[nottooshabby]

So I know how to use openurl to make a button call a phone number or send an email, but is there a way to have a label that is a phone number be the button itself or be clickable? Do I need to make a custom invisible button behind the label that calls an ibaction function that contains the openurl command or is their a way to make the phone number look like a hyperlink so that the user would know they could click it to call the phone number? Hopefully this makes sense...

I am pretty sure it has to be a button ...

You could try sticking the number inside a UIWebView as an HTML link.

you may have already found the answer by now, but if you didnt. you can either ( a ) use your label like you use an UIView to handle touch events: UILabel inherits from UIView, as an effect you have all the UIView methods available or ( b ) use a button of type "custom", set the "title" property to whatever you wanted the label to say, and use the font properties to adjust color and underlining.

Good call. I hadn't thought about (b). Thanks.... That should be easy enough.

How do you adjust underlining with fonts? Is there a font on the iPhone that supports underlining?
