title: Xcode 6 - Swift - Custom Tabbar with Navigation
body: <p>I'm trying to create a tabbed application with navigation elements inside the tab bar, as seen in the picture below (the red bar) using Swift/XCode 6.2.  Basically those three icons in the middle will direct the user to different view controllers.  The other two icons would be context-based.  For example, on a table view page you would see the menu icon and add new icon as seen in the image.  However, clicking on a row would change the menu icon to a back icon, and the add icon to something else.</p>
  
  <p>That's the general idea, but I'm having a very hard time implementing something even close to this.  The first issue is that whenever I embed a view in a Tab Bar Controller, I can't move the tab bar to the top.  However, when I create a custom UITabView in a View Controller, Control + Click and dragging a Tab Bar Item to another view doesn't create a segue.  I haven't even begun to tackle having the navigation elements inside the bar.</p>
  
  <p>I guess what I'm asking is just for a little guidance on what route to take to tackle this.  I'm assuming I can't use a Tab Bar Controller or Navigation Controller because it doesn't seem like I can customize them all that much. So custom Tab Bar and Navigation Bars, and then implemnt the segues and button changes programmatically?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks. </p>
