How to add a right button to a UINavigationController?

Question

I am trying to add a refresh button to the top bar of a navigation controller with no success.

Here is the header:

@interface PropertyViewController

@Artilheiro : If its a navigationbased project, u can create BaseViewController. All other view will inherit this BaseView. In BaseView u can define generic methods to add right button or to change left button text.

ex:

@interface BaseController : UIViewController {

} - (void) setBackButtonCaption:(NSString *)caption;

(void) setRightButtonCaption:(NSString *)caption selectot:(SEL )selector;

@end // In BaseView.M

(void) setBackButtonCaption:(NSString *)caption {

UIBarButtonItem *backButton =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] init];

backButton.title= caption;
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backButton;
[backButton release];

} - (void) setRightButtonCaption:(NSString *)caption selectot:(SEL )selector {

  UIBarButtonItem *rightButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] init];

rightButton.title = caption;

rightButton.target= self;

[rightButton setAction:selector];

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem= rightButton;

[rightButton release];

}

And now in any custom view, implement this base view call the methods:

@interface LoginView : BaseController {

In some method call base method as:

SEL sel= @selector(switchToForgotPIN);

[super setRightButtonCaption:@"Forgot PIN" selectot:sel];
