Question: I'm following the CoreDataRecipes app for modaly showing the add screen when I want to add a new item. However I cannot get the bar to display at the top so I can press 'Done' or 'Cancel'.

In the xib calling the modal controller I have the + button linked to modally sliding up the controller via IB.

I have the below in my modal controller

```
self.navigationItem.title = @"Add";

    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(cancel)];
    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Save" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(save)];
    self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = NO;

```

In my viewDidLoad

The modal controller displays fine except there is no bar so I cannot leave that screen.

Answer: 
You need to add it before the popover is actually presented.

Where you create the modal popover, you need to create it inside a UINavigationController first.

So, do the following.

```
 PopoverView *foo = [[PopoverView alloc] initWithNibName:@"PopoverView" bundle:nil];
 // Here you pass through properties if you need too.
 // ...
 UINavigationController *navC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootView:foo];
 [foo release];

 [self.navigationController presentModalViewController:navC animated:YES];

```

That will give the modal view the navigation bar which you're trying to edit.
Or if you just need the look of the bar, not exactly its functionality, you could drag the Navigation Bar (UINavigationBar) or Toolbar (UIToolbar) controll from the Media Library panel onto your view and go from there.
