Custom UINavigationController UIToolbar subclass

Question

I need to work with a subclassed UIToolbar in the UINavigationController. I know this can be done via Interface Builder but I need it to be done programatically.

The docs state that the UINavigationController toolbar property is readonly so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how I proceed.

A new init* method has been available since iOS 5

- (instancetype)initWithNavigationBarClass:(Class)navigationBarClass 
                              toolbarClass:(Class)toolbarClass

Also don't forget

... you are responsible for adding a root view controller before presenting the navigation controller onscreen.

Perfect, missed this. Thanks @Paul.s! – sbonami Apr 02 '13 at 14:55
Where do I add this init method? – Dejell Sep 29 '13 at 09:57
You need to create the navigationController using this method. So where ever you create your navigation controller use this instead. – Paul.s Sep 29 '13 at 16:40
