How do I support the touch of the navigation bar label?

Question

I have an editor that I am making, and I need a way of editing the document's title. I was considering touching the title of the navigation item and have a custom view appear.

I did this in an initial version of the application with a button bar item (and target/action), but I cannot seem to find a way to do it with the managed navigation bar.

The alternative I was considering was putting another bar at the bottom with an item to do just that, but it doesn't seem like the best design if I don't need to do it, as it takes away from viewing space.

You can set the titleView property of the view controller's navigationItem to a UIButton of type Custom. Then wire the button up to a method on the view controller. Now when the user taps the title, it'll fire the method on your controller.
