UITabBarController Without a UITabBar
===

I'v been trying to hide/remove the UITabBar from a UITabBarController. I've got a UITabBar in my iPhone version but I've moved the navigation to a new view controller for the iPad version. The new menu works using the UITabBarDelegate methods to switch between the UIViewControllers.

So far so good.

All I need now is to somehow hide the UITabBar.

I've got a custom UITabBarController and I've tried simply using self.tabBar.hidden = YES;
but i need the view to fill the screen.

Thank you
