Question

Have tried all the examples on this website I just don’t see anything on my modal view, I do see the navigationbar though but its empty

EditEntityViewController *editEntityViewController = [[EditEntityViewController alloc] init];
editEntityViewController.currentNode = newNode;
editEntityViewController.delegate = self;

UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:editEntityViewController];
navController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
navController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;


UIBarButtonItem *anotherButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Show"
                                                                  style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain 
                                                                 target:self
                                                                 action:@selector(refreshPropertyList:)];          
editEntityViewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = anotherButton;
[anotherButton release];


[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];

[editEntityViewController release];

Answer 1

As discussed, your code was correct and is the standard way to show a popup sheet with a UINavigationBar to hold buttons to dismiss the sheet. However, you had defined an IBOutlet in EditViewController called navigationItem, which was causing a conflict.
