NavigationController display TabBarController?

[jprichardson]

I was trying to get my application which is a "Navigation-Based" application to display TabBarControllers when you selecte an item in the table view.

However, everytime when the new view appeared, the TabBar was just black with no buttons. I then searched around some more, and found in Apple's docs for the UINavigationController pushViewController that it explictly says you can not push a UITabBarController. Why is this?

Notes:
I realize this may violate Apple's look & feel guidelines. I don't care. I'm just trying to learn Cocoa Touch. Also, it seems the application "Tweetie" is doing exactly what I want to do. Tweetie allows the user to select an account and then the TabBar is loaded.

Do I just need to use a TabBar and manually do the rest??

Thanks in advance for your help.
