set title to UINavigationBar

david_david · November 2008

I start with window application, and I want to set a nav bar on my login page . I added one nav bar.
But when I add a title, the UILabel has white background, how can I make it transparent ?
or any other mehod to set title


navBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 20, cgRect.size.width, 40)];
	UILabel *lblTitle  = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10,10,80,30)];
	lblTitle.text = @\"Title\";
	[navBar addSubview: lblTitle];
	[lblTitle release];
	[window addSubview:navBar];

Hello David,

set label's backgroundColor property to clearColor
lblTitle.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

Thanks,
Raju

For a navbar there is a navigationItem that has a title. This title is a simple NSString and is displayed correctly. Setting your own view as you did it is a more special case than setting a title. Please read the documentation!!!

hi, I didn't get you.. let me know how can I do it?

/*I am doing that code in AppDelegate class, and creating my own UINavigationBar.*/

UINavigationItem *navItem;
navItem = [UINavigationItem alloc];
navItem.titleView = lblTitle;
[navBar pushNavigationItem:navItem animated:false];
[navBar setDelegate:self];

Why? Only for changing the title?

Have a look at the documentation about UINavigationController and how to use it. Do you use Interface Builder?

Is there a way to keep the text from overlapping the buttons if it's really long? Like a sizetofit action that UILabels have?

Is it possible to change title of UINavigationBar if NavigationBar is created in Interface Builder (not generated dynamically) ?

Howdy, Stranger!
