Hello,

I already have a navigation based app working. At one point, i have a table listing some items. If you select any of this items, a view controller is pushed onto the navigation stack, initializated with a xib file (have 4 different ones, as well as one view controller for each), depending on the "kind" of the item selected.

Now, i need to manage that this items could be of more than just one kind, so i need to load a tab bar with as many items as kinds have the item selected. Pressing one of the items of the tabbar should then load the corresponding kind xib.

I can't figure out how to use tab bar/tab bar controller/tab bar delegate to get this done. I have read a lot about it, but i just don't get it clear. I am also very confused about what should i do in the IB and programatically. Do i have to create a new xib with a new view controller to manage the tab bar? Do i have to use a tab bar controller? Do i have to phisically create them in the new xib, or should this be done programatically?

Please some help (i would REALLY appreciate some code) about this? I really need to get this done.
