Does anybody know how to rename the "More" tabBarItem?
In other words: How to access to this object?
Better you should use custom image and title for this, you should not look to modify the system items.

I want to add more than two UIBarButtonItems using the XIB. I know how to do this programatically. But shouldn't it be possible via the XIB as well? Not worrying about the ascetic of the app. Just want to know if its feasible.
You have to add the UIBarButtons in an the XIB and show them like this.
Yes you can , after trying ....
EDIT :
Please see the following method ,
In a UINavigation Object you can add only two bar buttons via nib:
Left Bar button and Right bar button.
You cannot add any Flexible Space Bar Button Item.
Simply add buttons with flexible space in between them, more than 4 will really look bad but you can give a try.
I want to add one dropdowncombo in UISearchBar like mail application (NSTokenField).
On clicking that combo it will display the list of items. I have read many blogs but there is no public control from Apple. Is there way to do this?
NO. you have to use UIPickerview or UISegmentedControl to create a drop down menu.
If you want custom control,you can check this link:-

if you need any further assistance..please reply to me..
you can also use action sheet..Its upto you..
enjoy..
There is no build in control to make dropdowncombo. Instead you can use picker or as in mail application there is a custom controller. you can make it Simply by a table view on a view and presenting it. You can also show the list of Items in the UIPopOverController by adding the controller having table view and manage the content size of the popover.
I am using a UITabBarController where i want to load a custom colorful image to the respective TabBar. I want to customize the font size,color and type of the Text for the UITabBar item. I have tried out many possibilities by using image property for the tabBar and tried to create a imageview and adding it as an subview to the tabBar. Can someone please provide any alternative to this problem?
The only way for this is implementing your own custom tab bar controller. You can find many tutorial on the web if you google "custom tab bar". This is one for iOS 5. And here, you can find another.
I have an app planned out that needs to have a custom menu throughout the application. Its not a toolbar or anything like that so i don't think a regular UINavigationController or a UITabBarController will do the job.
What would be the best approach to creating this custom menu that appears in all views? I thought of just creating a view with the custom menu and alloc it for each view but it seems like a bit of an overkill. Extending UINavigationController might also be an option, but I'm not sure.
Would love to hear your opinions.
Thank you! :)
Shai.
The UINavigationController and the UITabBarController are pretty much always the best way to go because they have view and memory management built in. Here's what you can do:
Create a subclass of UITabBarController that hides the tab bar. See the last post on this page: http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/4091-uitabbarcontroller-hidden-uitabbar.html Make this UITabBarController accessible on a singleton object.
Create a view for your menu and some IBActions corresponding to the menu buttons.
When a menu button is pressed, you can manually switch the tabs of the uitabbarcontroller as follows: tabBarController.selectedIndex = x;
I agree with ade. I think a popover controller added to a shared class would fit best to the iOS style (I'd put it in AppDelegate in order to have reference to it from anywhere and to avoid creating multiple instances and using only one which you will keep displaying / hiding whenever you wish to see the menu)
I can think of two options: 1. Subclass UINavigationController, hide the standard UINavigationBar's view and create your own view and put it on top of it (ugly and who knows what the results will end up like). 2. Add the menu as a subview of UIWindow so it stays on top of everything throughout the app.
I think the best way is to create a custom tool bar and use it across the app. Subclassing UINavBar is another option but not recommended by Apple so I would not go there.
I'd look into using a popover style menu such as WEPopover
I am implementing an iPad app that needs to make use of a drop down box or something to filter items in a tableview.
Can anyone suggest a control? I can't use the picker view (because you can't adjust height) and the segment view can't hold enough items.
In this instance, I'd be tempted to use a UIPicker view in an UIActionSheet. (Or other similar modal dialog.)
That said, it might be more appropriate to use a Search Controller to filter the UITableView. (Really depends on the application.)
Sounds like you could just use a Search Controller to me, is your data categorisable? You could be better off just creating a hierarchy and navigating through it using a Navigation Controller to move between tableviews.
