TabBar Help

[Blitzkrieg101]

Hello,

I am creating a window based app and currently have navigation controllers set up so i am able to go to other views and back with ease but i am stuck my main page currently has buttons on it linking to other normal views with text and the navigation bar at the top but i would like one of the pages to have a tab bar controller but i dont want the tab bar controller to be on my opening view just on the second view when the user presses the certain button to open the new view i have tried using tutorials but because the tabbar controller ones are starting from the start i am lost because i am trying to use my second view as the first view stated in the tutorials is there an easier way to just have a tab bar controller on one page of the app?

Thanks alot.

Well is the entire app, besides the opening view, going to be part of the TabBar? If so then you should just start with the TabBar template and then load the first view from the AppDelegate to appear in front of your TabBar view. You can still add a NavBar to it and move around different views and once your ready to move into the TabBar you just dismiss the first view from the AppDelegate. If you are looking to just add the TabBar to just a single view/section of the app then you may need to add it programmatically to the view that is loaded and I'm not quite sure on getting that part done.

It's a huge pain trying to add a tabbarcontroller to a navcontroller. You might want to roll your own solution. A lot of delegate callbacks won't be called if you force it.
