How can I set thew view property of a UITabbarController?

Question

I created a new UIViewController from the wizard.

I added a UITabbarController and added view controllers for each tab.

How can I get File's Owner to set the view property correctly?

From the nib file in your interface builder

Click on file's owner icon on the left bar (top one, looks like a yellow outlined box) If you don't see the right-hand sidebar, click on the third icon above "view" in your toolbar. This will show the right-hand sidebar
In the right-hand sidebar, click on the third tab--the one that looks a bit like a newspaper
Under "Custom Class" at the top, make sure Class is the name of the ViewController that should correspond to this view. If not, enter it
In the right-hand sidebar, click on the last tab--the one that looks like a circle with an arrow in it
You should see "outlets" with "view" under it. Drag the circle next to it over to the "view" icon on the left bar (bottom one, looks like a white square with a thick gray outline

My custom class is referring to the correct view controller. When I go to view I can't connect it to anything :( – Sheehan Alam Jul 19 '11 at 13:38
Do you have a view in your nib file? – Man of One Way Jul 19 '11 at 13:40
I have a ViewController that is handled by a UITabBar – Sheehan Alam Jul 19 '11 at 13:56
But does your corresponding nib file contain a view? – Man of One Way Jul 19 '11 at 13:59
Yes it contains a UITableViewController whose view outlet is connected – Sheehan Alam Jul 19 '11 at 14:01
so how do you add the controllers to the uittabbar? – Man of One Way Jul 19 '11 at 14:05
each tab contains a viewcontroller – Sheehan Alam Jul 19 '11 at 14:10
