You should probably tag this as iPhone.

Easy assuming you have your list managed by a UITableViewController, and aslo bite down ont he bullet and actually use the UINavigationController as you should. Then override your viewDidLoad as this:

-(void)viewDidLoad;
{
  [super viewDidLoad];
  self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [self editButtonItem];
}

If you for some strange reason really do need to use your own UINavigationBar, then you have to add some extra code. Perhaps something like this:

-(void)viewDidLoad;
{
  [super viewDidLoad];
  UINavigationBar* navBar = self.myOwnStupidNavigationBar;
  UINavigationItem* navItem = self.navigationItem;
  navItem.leftBarButtonItem = [self editButtonItem];
  navbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObject:navItem];
}

But think not twice, but ten times over, if you really have a good reason not to use UINavigationController that gives you allot of nice functionality for free.
