How to set the navigation bar to the top in Table View? - xcode

How can i set the navigation bar to the top in a Table View within storyboard interface builder? Is it possible?
If i add a navigation bar to my Table View i get it under my records only!
I'm using Xcode 4.3.2

You should not add the navigation bar yourself. Interface builder will do that automatically when a scene is embedded into a navigation controller or part of the navigation stack. So if your tableview is the root controller choose your scene and then go to:
Editor > Embed in > Navigation Controller
Otherwise the navigation bar will be added automatically when you connect a segue from another controller (that is part of the stack) to your tableview controller.

How do I add child view controllers to a tabbed view controller while keeping the tab bar?

I am using Swift 3, Xcode 8.2, developing for iOS 10.
I've got a storyboard that looks like this.
The left view controller is one of three child view controllers part of a tab view controller. The right view controller is a view controller that reveals when "Continue" is clicked.
However, when clicked, the right view controller takes up the whole view and the tab bar at the bottom disappears. There is a "Back" button at the top which is good and I would like to keep that but how do I get the tab bar back?
The problem is not reproducible based on what you've said. On the contrary, when I set up a storyboard Tab Bar Controller -> Nav Controller -> VC1 -> (push) -> VC2, the tab bar is still there when I go to VC2. I can only conclude that there's some misconfiguration in your storyboard that you have not described accurately.

Default Show Left Bar Button Item

I am using a show segue from a Table View cell to a "Detail View" because I am using a navigation controller, the Detail View comes by default with a left bar button to take me back to Table View. Because it is done by default, I cannot figure out how to access it, to change its propertys. More specifically it's color. I am using Swift in the most current Xcode. How do you access the default navigation bar button when using a show segue?

Why is the bar button item only visible when selected and very dull?

I have added a bar button item in my app and it is only visible on the storyboard when it is selected , it is not visible at all when I run it on the simulator or real device, any ideas of how I could solve this? thanks !
The problem is that you are already in a UINavigationController interface. Thus, adding your own navigation bar to this view controller won't work; it is hidden behind the navigation controller's navigation bar. What you want to do is modify the navigation controller's navigation bar. You do that by adding a navigation item to this view controller, not a navigation bar.

LaunchScreen.xib UINavigationBar & UITableView

I'm unfamiliar with Interface Builder. I typically do everything programmatically. How do I make the launch screen look like a UINavigationController as the window's root view controller with a plain-style UITableViewController as it's root view controller?
I tried adding a UINavigationBar and a UITableView to the LaunchScreen.xib provided by one of Xcode's iOS app templates, but the status bar remains transparent and doesn't automatically match the tint of the UiNavigationBar.
In Interface Builder, how do I set the tint of the status bar to match that of that of a UINavigationBar?
Rather than use Navigation Bar and Table View simply delete the View and drag in a Navigation Controller which comes with both and appreciates the location of the status bar. To get it to build simply delete the Table View Cell.

Incorporating navigation bar in UIViewController in Interface Builder

I'm using Xcode 4, but not Storyboards
We have a navigation controller instantiated in the app delegate.
When we create view controllers with Xibs the xibs are views that are the height of the iphone (without the navigation bar). Putting content in this area is deceptive as there is actually 44pt's less space (the height of the nav bar) which gets put there by the navigation controller.
Therefore how do we remove the room where the nav bar should be in interface builder?
I can click the view and then change the "top bar" to "navigation bar" which will work, but I cannot add bar button items to this navigation bar, which makes me think that this is not the correct way to do it.
Can anyone let me know what the best way to do this is?
Many thanks
When you push your controller or use it to init the navigation controller, the navigation controller should take care of resizing at run time. The area in IB where you set the top bar is under the heading "Simulated Metrics" and is meant to give you a preview of what your selected interface elements will do to your available display area. The "Simulated" part is why you can't put items into that bar.
The real navigation bar should be configured wherever the navigation controller is defined, whether in code or a xib.
