How to present a modal view controller with fixed UIToolbar?

Question

I am trying to set up a Modal View Controller, that that lies below a fixed toolbar. therefore the toolbar is supposed to stay on top while the modal view rolls in. the Safari-App does that for example, when hitting the bookmarks-button. the toolbar stays, the buttons change..

I tried a couple of things like pushing the toolbar to the front and ended up not using the presentModalViewController method at all, and animating the new View manually into a subview instead. but that brought a couple of other issues along.

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you are saying, when you press add bookmark in safari, a new modal view shows with no tool bar. The navigation bar at the top is not a tool bar if that is what you mean. They are UIToolbarItem set into self.navigationItem.

Answer 2

All modal views I've seen are animated until they take up the whole of the screen. Those modal-like views that only scroll up to a certain point in some apps, are done by hand. Maybe you can cover those issues encountered when doing this by hand in another post?

Answer 3

@erotsppa: I meant the "show Bookmarks" option

Ok, I finally did it by hand. The problems I ran into weren't that big of a deal, I was just convinced, that there had to be another way. works great now, thanks guys
