present modal view underneath a tab bar

[stevetrollope]

Hi

I have a TabBar at the bottom of the screen with four different tabs. Under one of the tabs I need to present a modal view but I still want the tab bar at the bottom of the screen to be visible so that I can switch between views.

I have tried setting the hidesBottomBarWhenPushed property to NO but doesn't seem to do the job.

Any Ideas? Thanks

really what I want to do is present a modal view with the tab bar still visible at the bottom of the screen.

Is this possible.

Thanks

Hi

normally it IS possible.

You assign to the TabBar a NavigationController instead of a normal ViewController. And to THAT NavigationController you add your normal ViewController.

Like:

ViewController -> NavigationController -> TabBarController.


When you now write [myNavigationController presentModal....] and so forth, your to-be-presented-ViewConroller will be presented underneath the tabBar, so that the Tab bar stays at the top.

Hope that helps.
