Set UITabBarController created in Interface Builder as delegate

Question

I created my iOS app with Tab Bar template, so here is UITabBarController with bar buttons. An issue is how to set it as delegate. I found at SO that it has to be set progra

Answer 1

What about create a viewController lets say MyTabController subclass UITabBarController

@interface MyTabController : UITabBarController

and set the tab Controller's class in you storyboard to MyTabController instead of UITabBarController, then put self.delegate = self; in your viewDidLoad

implement:

- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController;

and here you are.

Edit:

If you find self.delegate = self; is odd, which it is, you can create an outlet in your MyTabController

IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController; and connect it to the tab controller in your storyboard.

Then you can put tabBarController.delegate = self;
