Programmatically pressing a UITabBar button in Xcode

Question

Sorry for the newbie question. I have a UITabBar in my main window view as well as an array of UINavigationControllers for each Tab. The structure is similar to the iPod a

Answer 1

[self.parentViewController.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:3];

Selected the index for me but it just highlighted the navbarcontroller's index as the active index, but while it highlighted that index it was actually on a different viewcontroller than was suggested by the tabbarmenu item.

Just wanted to add that I used this from my view controller, and it performed like someone actually pressed the menuitem; from code:

UITabBarController *MyTabController = (UITabBarController *)((AppDelegate*) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]).window.rootViewController;
[MyTabController setSelectedIndex:1];

Thank you for this post/answers it helped out a lot in my project.
