Question

I’m new to this :-(.

I have a pretty standard Tab Bar Controller to which I’ve added a UIButtonBarItem (I used the storyboard editor to do this). It all looks fine, but I don’t know how to handle the “button press” event. I have established a delegate for the tab bar controller, so I can capture the “didSelectViewController” events (not that it seems to help :-).

I think I’m missing something obvious.

Answer 1

I finally stumbled across the solution:

1. Set up a delegate for the TabBarController ()
2. Create a method on the delegate to handle the action: -(IBAction) someHandler:(id) sender;
3. Drag a Bar Button Item into the “Navigation Bar” of the common Tab Bar Controller
4. Select the bar button, control-drag to the “First Responder” and select the “someHandler” method.

That’s it, not that hard, should have figured it out earlier.
