I have a TableView and in each cell, I have a UISwitch which if enabled, modifies the label in the row.

Here is how I am modifying it:

@IBAction func completedTask(_ sender: UISwitch) {
    
    //Getting original taskLabel
    let initalLabel = taskLabel.text
    
    //Modifying the string to have a line through it. Storing it in variable attributeString
    let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString =  NSMutableAttributedString(string: taskLabel.text!)
    
        attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.strikethroughStyle, value: 2, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))
    
    
    if sender.isOn{
        print("attributed Label --> ",attributeString)
        taskLabel.textColor = UIColor.red
        taskLabel.attributedText = attributeString
    }else{
        print("initial Label --> ",initalLabel!)
        taskLabel.text = initalLabel
        taskLabel.textColor = UIColor.black
        
    }
}

I am running into an issue to reset the label back to the original string. I will do a demo right now. I have added several print statements to help with debugging. We can see that initialLabel holds the correct cell value, but for some reason doesn't assign it.

Here is the demo:

Why is it not displaying my taskLabel with the right string?

CodePudding user response：

you need to remove the strikethrough in off state

Removes the named attribute from the characters in the specified range. Ref removeAttribute:range:

 @IBAction func completedTask(_ sender: UISwitch) {
    
    //Modifying the string to have a line through it. Storing it in variable attributeString
    let attributeString: NSMutableAttributedString =  NSMutableAttributedString(string: taskLabel.text!)
    
    if sender.isOn{
       attributeString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.strikethroughStyle, value: 2, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))
        
    }else{
        
attributeString.removeAttribute(NSAttributedStringKey.strikethroughStyle, value: 2, range: NSMakeRange(0, attributeString.length))
        }
    taskLabel.textColor =  sender.isOn ? .red :  .black
   taskLabel.attributedText = attributeString
}
