Pixel Width of the text in a UILabel

I need to draw a UILabel striked through. Therefore I subclassed UILabel and implemented it as follows:

@implementation UIStrikedLabel

- (void)drawTextInRect:(CGRect)rect{
    [super drawTextInRect:rect];

    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextFillRect(context,CGRectMake(0,rect.size.height/2,rect.size.width,1));
}
@end

What happens is that the the UILabel is striked through with a line being as long as the whole label, but the text can be shorter. Is there a way to determine the length of the text in pixels, such that the line can appropriately be drawn?

I'm also open to any other solutions, if known :)

Best, Erik

This will work. Try it

NSDictionary *attrDict = @{NSFontAttributeName : [GenericUtility getOpenSansRegularFontSize:12]};
CGSize stringBoundingBox = [selectedReservationModel.DateLabel sizeWithAttributes: attrDict];
lblDeliveryDateWidth = stringBoundingBox.width;
