How use UITabBar without UITabBarController

Question

I need to use UITabBar with a UITabBarItem, but I need to do this without using a UITabBarController in the storyboard.

I added a TabBar and a TabBarItem in my firstViewController, but I can't trigger or add an event method in my class.

What is the proper way to do this? Could someone outline the next steps to take?

Thanks.

now I create only Storyboard... I've a MFSideMenu (right) and I need a TabBar too....... I read online this method: - (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item { if ([item.title isEqualToString:@"Messaggi"]) { // or whatever your title is [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"segueMessaggi" sender:self]; } } but I can't trigger it... — Psycho80, Apr 19 '15 at 08:53
this code seems right, add 'UITabBarDelegate' protocol to class file and then in class 'viewDidLoad()' make 'self.delegate = self' — Akash Shinde, Apr 19 '15 at 09:00
I'm sorry but for me it's fist time to add Protocol.... I read in my .h @interface myViewController : UIViewController it's right? and now?? in my .m? can you answer my question?? thank you — Psycho80, Apr 19 '15 at 09:15
yeah its right way now just call - (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item in your .m file — Akash Shinde, Apr 19 '15 at 09:30
self.delegate give me an error... "property delegate not found on object of type "myViewController"" — Psycho80, Apr 19 '15 at 09:32

To implement particular behaviour on UI element you need to implement respective protocols

Syntax to implement protocols in IOS

@interface myViewController : UIViewController<UITabBarDelegate>

This way you can implement methods to work with UITabBar
