Creating custom buttons in a UINavigationController

[BitBlasters]

I have an app, that is Tab Bar based. And on each tab there is a UINavigationController. Then on some of the views that are pushed with the Navigation Controller, I need to have some custom buttons on the UINavigationBar for that view. I found some example code that shows how to do that with a UIToolBar and have implemented that. I added the UIToolBar to my .xib for my view, above my table view. And in my code I create the buttons that I needs on there and add them to the toolbar items like so

[self.toolBar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:doneButton, leftFlex, titleButton, titleButton, playButton, addButton, nil] animated:NO];

But when my view is pushed from the previous view, where the toolbar should show up, it shows as completely blank area.

So my questions are:

1) Is this the correct way to do this?

2) Is there another way to add more buttons to a UINavigationBar? If so is there example code anywhere.

I don't know when this started happening, but the code I got said it worked under 2.0+, but under 3.0+ it seems to be broken doing it the way I am doing it.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.
