Same UILabel in two spots

Question

I have a UILabel object instance declared in the interface builder and I set its position with instance method setFrame:CGRectMake.

Is it possible to duplicate this label and have it be at two spots on the same view controller?

So have something like this?:

[label setFrame:CGRectMake(20,49,135,35)];
[label setFrame:CGRectMake(110,49,135,35)];

Because I want to reuse this same label.

override drawRect, gate a recursive call. I'm not sure on this. — Stephen J, Jun 13 '14 at 22:44

In short. No. You have to make a separate UILabel object instance.

Tip: create a UILabel subclass if you want to provide a custom functionality for your labels and encapsulate that features in a custom class to keep your code clean and well organised.
