In my iPhone application, I have a tab bar. This tab bar holds a UINavigationController. I have:

  • In Interface Builder set the tab item title to 'Create New'
  • In the UINavigation controller I have self.tabBarItem.title = 'Create New'; and self.title = 'Create New';
  • In the UIViewController pushed onto the controller: self.tabBarItem.title = 'Create New'; but self.title = 'Blah';.

But, always, the self.title of the first view controller pushed onto the navigation controller is shown (Blah). How would you set the title of the tab bar item? Thanks, Isaac Waller

I found if I used self.navigationItem.title = 'Blah'; instead of self.title, it would work.
