iOS multipleVCs on iPad, how to show/hide

[f77coder]

all,

am developing an iPad app in swift, on root VC i have multiple VCs on top all connected with embedded segues. on the root VC there is going to be UIToolbar to control which VCs are active at any given time.

so by clicking a button on the UIToolbar how do i make a VC appear then disappear?

so far, after grepping through the docs, UIView has a AddSubview but have found not much else.

is there the equivalent of the html/css -z? force inactive VCs to a lower display?

any help? in swift

Have you read through the View Controller Programming Guide for iOS yet?

P.S. A lot of the documentation has not been updated for Swift. That's another reason, for now, to know some Objective-C.

yes i've tried to hash through it but find the documentation terrible. as you mention, most of it isn't updated to swift and most of their examples are iPhone not iPad.

and on iPad these segues are embed NOT modal or otherwise so you can't use prepareForSegue blah blah blah

there are two ways make code unreadable
1. run it through an obfuscator
2. write it in objective-c

thanks for all the help :roll eyes: it was insightful... NOT

figured it out myself without reading apple's crap obj-c documentation or their outdated examples.

score
me 100 for falling back on hard core c/perl/python experience.
apple 0 for not providing documentation or examples in swift.

Let me rewrite number 2 for you.

2. write it in a language the reader doesn't know and will whine about.​

That sounds rude. You shouldn't burn your bridges to the kind people who are trying to help out or others who may try to help you later on.

Since you have a solution, please post at least a basic description of your solution, so that when someone else arrives here via a search, they'll get a clue what to look for.

Lastly, please mark the question resolved.

OP may have figured it out, but I thought I'd post the following tutorial, in case anyone else was still looking for some info:

Beginning iOS Collection Views in Swift

I haven't gone through it but, since it's from Ray Wenderlich, I trust it to provide some decent help.
