TabBar help

[Blitzkrieg101]

Hello,

I am creating a window based app and currently have navigation controllers set up so i am able to go to other views and back with ease but i am stuck my main page currently has buttons on it linking to other normal views with text and the navigation bar at the top but i would like one of the pages to have a tab bar controller but i dont want the tab bar controller to be on my opening view just on the second view when the user presses the certain button to open the new view i have tried using tutorials but because the tabbar controller ones are starting from the start i am lost because i am trying to use my second view as the first view stated in the tutorials is there an easier way to just have a tab bar controller on one page of the app?

Thanks alot.

Hi Blitzkrieg101,

In XCode 4.2 drag a new view into your storyboard and select Edit > Embed In> Tab Bar Controller. Then create a segue (Ctrl + click + drag) from your button on the initial view to the grey tab bar view. Repeat the process for each tab in the tab bar view linking it to the view you want it to lead too. To keep a view as your initial view there is a tick box in the attributes/identity inspector (i'm @ work can't remember which) and having this checked means there will be an arrow at the side of that view marking it as your initial view.

I have a tutorial loaded up at http://www.robinsonsintelligence.com...ontroller.html on using tab bar controllers and if it & my comments above don't help, leave a comment and i'll add a new section to the bottom of it.
