Question

I am using the SplitViewController template. How do I set the title on the topbar in the detailview? Been trying to work this out for hours. Tried simple:

detailViewController.title = @"String";

but no luck.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Assuming it’s a toolbar that you’re attempting to add a title to, why not add a UIBarButton with

UIBarButton *barButtonItem = [[UIBarButton alloc] initWithTitle:@"Foo" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:nil

With a little computation hoop jumping you could figure out the width to place this item somewhere in the middle of the toolbar. Then make it so with a

barButtonItem.width = whatever;

Then add the item to the mutableArray from above and then to the toolbar like

[toolBarArray insertObject:barButtonItem atIndex:x];
[toolbar setItems:toolBarArray animated:YES];

This will work on the iPhone/Touch with the 3.1 SDK, I can’t (legally) say anything about the 3.2 until April 3…
