My question is about how to access the TabBarController from within one of its viewControllers.

Imagine a mainClass.m that adds tabBarController which has two viewControllers – viewController1 and viewController2.

In viewController1.m there is a game. When the game is over, viewController1.m wants to tell tabBarController to display viewController2, but viewController1 has no reference to tabBarController. How do I reference the viewController’s parent?

How does one change tabBarItems from within the code for the current view?

    Via the tabBarController property of your view controller.

    [ self.tabBarController setViewControllers: viewController2 animated: YES ];

    Where “self” is viewController1

    tabController property of viewControllers

    setViewControllers:animated: method of UITabBarController

    Also, technically, the tabBarController is not any view controller’s parent. To say it that way is confusing how inheritance works in Objective-C. Your view controller’s super class, or parent, is UIViewController.
