If You want to strike through text in multiline mode: use TTTAttributedLabel
create new TTTAttributedLabel.h and TTTAttributedLabel.m files (not from GITHUB, because I tweaked with single/double strikethrough feature)
http://www.2shared.com/file/Z_qZpWVd/TTTAttributedLabel.html
http://www.2shared.com/file/xXjmC-1M/TTTAttributedLabel.html
and where you need a strikethrough label -
use TTTAttributedLabel instead of UILabel.
To set strikethrough =
TTTAttributedLabel *labelName = [[TTTAttributedLabel alloc] init];
labelName.linkAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES]
forKey:@"TTTCustomStrikeOut"];
To set doublethrough =
TTTAttributedLabel *labelName = [[TTTAttributedLabel alloc] init];
labelName.linkAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES]
forKey:@"TTTCustomDoubleStrikeOut"];
Add range where label text should be striked out + provide clickable link (nil , for no link):
//set link to nil, to NOT-have a link on taping on this label.
[labelName addLinkToURL:nil withRange:NSMakeRange(0, [labelName.text length])];
P.S. - to properly reposition double strikeout lines - please edit TTTAtributedLabel.m file, at lines 483, 484 and 489, 490 (currently I changed upper line y-2 and lower y+2 from center. tweak that for better results.)

.
Convert all string symbols to special strike-through characters.
You can get them from this homepage: http://adamvarga.com/strike/
Then You can - for example, put necessary symbol translations in language file:
"A" = "A?";
"B" = "B?";
"C" = "C?";
"D" = "D?";
"E" = "E?";
"F" = "F?";
"G" = "G?";
"H" = "H?";
....
and use this function, to turn normal Text string to striked out string:
- (NSString *)returnStrikedOutTextFromString:(NSString *)mString
{
NSString * mNewString = @"";
for(int i = 0; i<[mString length]; i++)
{
mNewString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@",mNewString,
NSLocalizedString([[mString substringToIndex:i+1] substringFromIndex:i],nil)];
}
return mNewString;
}
for example:
textLabel.text = [self returnStrikedOutTextFromString:@"string text"];

I would also suggest trying this UILabel subclass mentioned here: Underline text in UIlabel
Hope that helps!
