Q:

Using UITabbaritem as a UIButton

Is there a way to use UITabbaritem as a UIButton?
I am trying to make a Tabbar that its items don't change the view. Just want them to do simple actions in the same view controller.
Thanks.

A:

It's probably possible, by creating a UITabBarDelegate and implementing the correct methods, but doing so would violate Apple's HIG and cause your app to be rejected. UIToolbar is the correct class to use for what you're describing. From that doc:

A tab bar gives users the ability to
  switch among different modes or views
  in an application, and users should be
  able to access these modes from
  everywhere in the application.
  However, a tab bar should never be
  used as a toolbar, which contains
  buttons that act on elements in the
  current mode (see “Toolbars” for more
  information on toolbars).
