To add an item in code you use the following code.

		CGRect settingsBarRect = CGRectMake(0.0,460.0,320.0,20.0);
		settingsButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
		[settingsButton setTitle:@"Settings" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
		[settingsButton setTitleColor:[UIColor grayColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
		[settingsButton setFrame:settingsBarRect];
		[settingsButton addTarget:self action:@selector(gotoSettings) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
		[self.view addSubview:settingsButton];

That would create a custom button with the text "Settings" at the bottom of the screen.

Every UIView based class has the properties 'frame', 'bounds', and 'center'.

Read through the docs for UIView. This is a class you will use A LOT. It's good to get to know what it can do.

Thanks A lot. Lots of great answers in this forum.
Just 1 problem here. The item that I am trying to add to this view is another UIView, which is already created using interface builder.
I use the code below to add this view to my main view. everything runs fine and compiles well except the new view that i added to my main view does not show up on the screen. That's why i thought it might be the location of the view.
Any suggestions?


- (void)loadView {
Seat *s = [[Seat alloc]
initWithNibName:@"Seat" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self.view addSubview:s.view];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:s.view];
}
