UIButton label text is being clipped

I have a UIButton built in Interface Builder that has a default label. In Xcode, I'm changing the label text dynamically like so:

myButton.titleLabel.text = @"this is the new label";

However, when the text updates, the new string is being clipped down to the same size as the original string and ends up looking like:

this...label

Anyone know why this is happening?

If that didn't work you can always determine the string size and adjust the button frame width. In that case you are sure it will fit.

// Calculate the size 
CGSize buttonSize = [@"My text.." sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:15.0]
                    constrainedToSize:someSize lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

// Do whatever you want with the "buttonSize", you can for example adjust your button's frame width
