iPhone Tab Bar

The whole UI controllers setup seems rather complicated from the Interface Builder – so much so that even apple’s examples do not use it!

For Tab bars and lists I would recommend just hand-coding, maybe using the IB for Views only (which can be loaded via code).

Here’s some interesting conversation and sample code

Apple’s TableViewSuite sample, in particular the 5_CustomTableViewCell sub-sample is very useful, and I combined it with some Tab Navigation bar code from that thread for a useful start to my next app (currently unannounced ;-)
