How do I show/hide a UIBarButtonItem?

Question

I created a toolbar in IB with several buttons. I would like to be able to hide/show one of the buttons depending on the state of the data in the main window.

Complementing Eli Burke`s response, if your UIBarButtonItemhas a background image instead of a title, you can use the code:

-(void)toggleLogoutButton:(bool)show{
    if (show) {
        self.tabButton.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
        self.tabButton.enabled = true;
        UIImage* imageMap = [UIImage imageNamed:@"btn_img.png"];
        [((UIButton *)[self.tabButton customView]) setBackgroundImage:imageMap forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    } else {
        self.tabButton.style = UIBarButtonItemStylePlain;
        self.tabButton.enabled = false;
        [((UIButton *)[self.tabButton customView]) setBackgroundImage:nil forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    }
}
