I'm trying to have a modal view controller that i call programmatically.


heres my code:

- (IBAction)searchView:(id)sender
{
	GlobalStrings* theDataObject = [self theGlobalClass];
   
	if (theDataObject.presentSearch == nil)
	{   
		UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
		UIViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"SearchBarViewController"];
		[vc setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
	   
		[self presentModalViewController:vc animated:YES];
	}
   
	UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];
	UIViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"SearchBarViewController"];
	[vc setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
}

i get a sigbart error, is it because the view controller I'm calling is a navigation controller?


i also have a similar method in my "ViewWillAppear" for my log in screen.

Is the view controller you're trying to call before the navigation controller a navigation controller as well?  You could also segue to another storyboard by programatically setting up a segue to another view controller.

no the login screen isn't a navigation controller.

segue to another story board?

Xcode might be iffy if you try to push a navigation controller on top of one that isn't already.  Not to another storyboard just within that storyboard segue from that view controller to your navigation controller would be what I would do.  You want me to elaborate a bit more on that or do you understand how to segue programatically?

hmm for now, i just modally called the search view controller by button, just to get over the hump, i just want it to work first and foremost.


thanks a lot though
