Question

So many posts on this and none are working. 🙁

So I am missing something simple, just do not know what that is.

I have dropped a Navigation Bar and a BarButtonItem on my view in IB.
I have in my .h file:
IBBarButtonItem callHelp;
I have @property and @synthesized it

then I have connected it in my IB “control drag”

then in my viewDidLoad I have tried all of the following

callHelp.setHidden=TRUE;
callHelp.hidden=TRUE;
callHelp.Hidden=TRUE;
[callhelp setHidden=TRUE];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = nil;
and something I found on stack for arraying the toolbar/navbar

So what should I be kicking myself for missing?

Answer 1

If you have added your UINavigationBar by InterfaceBuilder (and it’s not added by UINavigationController using self.navigationItem will get you nowhere.

You have to add an IBOutlet for your UINavigationBar – the same as you did with callHelp button. And then in viewDidLoad call

UINavigationItem* item=[[self.navBar items] objectAtIndex:0]; //assuming navBar is your UINavigationBar IBOutlet
[item setRightBarButtonItem:nil];
