Switching Views in Navigation Based app with Navigation Bar Button

[Maxner]

I am workin on a Navigation Based app, with a table view and a navigation bar on the first view. On the Navigation Bar ive got a + Button that should open up another view. Ive tried this code:
SecondView *second = [[SecondView alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[self presentModalVewController:second animated:YES];

It works inside a view based app but the ground structure of a navigation based app is completely different, so that i cant do the steps that work with the view based app. Because normally you dont do anything on the mainWndow.xib but you do on the viewcontroller.xib. in this case although ive got the navigation bar with the button on the mainwindow.xib and thats what messes everthing up. Ive tried to add an object and connect it to a viewcontrollersubclass to recieve the IBActions, but then tha app always crashes when i press the button! Can anyone help me with this

[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondViewController];

where navigationController is a pointer to your UINavigationController

I had no success!
So basically i added a .h and a .m file called first. in first i made the actions and in the inteface builder I added an object and set it to First so that i had the possibility to connect the action to the bar button in MainWindow.xib. But if i click the button nothing happens, if i use your code its the same. Can you please try to build the same ting with xcode and then tell me how it works?

I suppose that your problem is that your reference to navigationController is not the right reference.....you should put it on appDelegate, so that you can have its reference esaily.

to confirm that this is the problem:

[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondViewController]; 
if(!self.navigationController)
    NSLog(@"navigationController is NIL!!!!");

thank you dany, it works perfectly! So the coplete code for the ibaction is:

- (IBAction)switchto2:(id)sender {
    Second *second = [[Second alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
    [self.NavController pushViewController:second animated:YES]; 
    if(!self.NavController)
        NSLog(@"navigationController is NIL!!!!");

}

and remember to release, to avoid leak.

- (IBAction)switchto2:(id)sender {
    Second *second = [[Second alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
    [self.NavController pushViewController:second animated:YES]; 
    [second release];
}

right
is there a way to change the transtion in this case? because UIModalTransitionStyle doesnt work with the navigation controller.
