How can I add a UIToolbar to a UIViewController?

Question

I have a UIViewController. I want to add a UIToolbar to the bottom, but IB is not letting me. How can I achieve this?

Note: The UIViewController is part of a UINavigationController. I'm not sure if this affects the visibility of the toolbar.

Starting from iOS 3.0 you can set toolbar items you want using following UIViewController's method:

- (void)setToolbarItems:(NSArray *)toolbarItems animated:(BOOL)animated

of simply set or override toolbarItems property.

And toolbar will appear automatically if you put your view controller inside navigation controller.
