I have added a BarButton item to the left of the nav.bar through Interface Builder and in the code I want this only to show in my table view's edit mode. But I didn't find any hidden property to set the leftBarButtonItem (like: self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem.hidden = YES).

I can only set enabled property. Anybody know how to control the hide and show property of the leftBarButtonItem, please help.
