I've added a tab bar and item to a master view controller. I cannot create a segue from the tab bar item to another view controller. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

 

Thanks

you need to use a tabbarviewcontroller.. you seem to have just created a view and added a tab bar and table view..not a bug or anything to do with STV at all

 

i don't think you can use tabbar view controllers inside a navigation controller either (not normally anyways)

 

needs to look more like this

then you can drag to make segues from the tabbarcontroller to the other views

Well, we're going off-topic here, as this probably isn't an STV topic,  but this solution doesn't work for me. When the setup is as you describe Ozie, I cannot fire a segue -- nothing happens. I'll keep looking, but ideas are welcome.

[ozie]

can you explain what your trying to do.. do you want the app to function say like the iOS App store app.. there the tab bar buttons display a different view?

[David DelMonte]

Sure. (and thanks for helping)..

 

I want to have some tabs from the master view that can link modally to other views, such as settings, and/or help...

[ozie]

so you want them to open a view like a sheet/page view and not to replace the current displayed view in the window?

[David DelMonte]

Yes.. Can you do that? What's a good alternative if not?

[ozie]

so I had a think:).. if you add your own tabbar control to a view and then setup actions like

- (IBAction)tab1Tapped:(id)sender;

 

then in the function something like

- (IBAction)tab1Tapped:(id)sender {
    UIStoryboard *sb = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"SToryBoardName" bundle:nil];
    
    UIViewController *vc = [sb instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"ViewStoryBoardID"];
    
    vc.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
    [self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
}

 

then you can display the view modally

 

using a main TabBarViewController you create an app like app store where thetas when pressed change the whole window view
