Hi Gerry, I like the sound of that. I don't use IB though. (It seems like there's always stuff that I have to do programmatically, and when I move back and forth between IB things get screwed up in ways that I'm not good enough yet to fix, so I just stopped trying to use IB for anything. It's been easier for me to work entirely programmatically.) I assume you're approach could be done programmatically, but I have a few questions about what you're doing.
If I understand what you're saying, you have a MainViewController (a UIViewController) let's say. You create a UITabBar object and add it to your MainViewController. Then you are handling when a tab button is touched yourself. Let's say you have a Settings tab, and when it's tapped you're going to have a UITableView with settings options called SettingsView. So when the Settings tab is tapped, you're adding this SettingsView as a subview to your MainViewController. Do I have that right? Is there any way that you could post a code sample, or link to one? Thanks again, Gerry. --Chris Gerry High wrote > > I just did something like this today.
