A couple things come to mind: 1. Make Tab 2's view controller a custom view controller container whose sole purpose is to host another view controller that contains the real guts of Tab 2. Toggling between tabs would move that GutsViewController between the tabs. 2. Perhaps use a naked UITabBar instead of a UITabBarController, and convert Tab 1's view controller into an overlay that you add and remove based on the tab bar delegate messages. Both of these approaches have the benefit of not allocating a screen-sized bitmap of your hidden tab's contents. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
