I'm making some tabs and I want to have my own delegate for them but when I try to send an action to the delegate nothing happens.

I also tried following this tutorial: link text

But it doesn't work for me :(

Here is my code: TiMTabBar.h

    @protocol TiMTabBarDelegate;

@interface TiMTabBar : UIView {
    id<TiMTabBarDelegate>  __delegate;

    ...

    int selectedItem;

    ...
}
//- (id)init;
- (id)initWithDelegate:(id)aDelegate;

- (void)setSelectedIndex:(int)item;
..

@property (nonatomic) int selectedItem;
@property(assign) id <TiMTabBarDelegate> __delegate; 
..


...

@end

@protocol TiMTabBarDelegate<NSObject>
//@optional

- (void)tabBar:(TiMTabBar *)_tabBar didSelectIndex:(int)index;

@end

TiMTabBar.m:

#import "TiMTabBar.h"

...

@interface NSObject (TiMTabBarDelegate)
- (void)tabBar:(TiMTabBar *)_tabBar didSelectIndex:(int)index;
@end

@implementation TiMTabBar

@synthesize selectedItem;
@synthesize __delegate;
...

/*
- (id)init
{
    ...

    return self;
}
 */

- (id)initWithDelegate:(id)aDelegate;
{
    //[super init];
    __delegate = aDelegate;
    return self;
}

- (void)awakeFromNib
{
    //[self init];
    //[self initWithDelegate:self];
    ...
}

- (void)setSelectedIndex:(int)item {
    selectedItem = item;
    if (self.__delegate != NULL && [self.__delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(tabBar:didSelectIndex:)]) {
        [__delegate tabBar:self didSelectIndex:selectedItem];
    } 

    ...
    if (item == 0) {
        ...
    } else if (item == 1) {
        ...
    } else if (item == 2) {
        ...
    } else if (item == 3) {
        ...
    } else if (item == 4) {
        ...
    } else {
        ...
    }
}

/*
- (void)tabBar:(TiMTabBar *)_tabBar didSelectIndex:(int)index;
{
    //[delegate tabBar:self didSelectIndex:index];
    //if (self.delegate != NULL && [self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(tabBar:didSelectIndex:)]) {
        //[delegate tabBar:self didSelectIndex:selectedItem];
    //}
    NSLog(@"tabBarDelegate: %d",index);
}
 */


@end

The delegate only works works inside itself and not in any other files like:

@interface XXXController : UIViewController <TiMTabBarDelegate> {
    ...

    ...

    IBOutlet TiMTabBar *tabBar;
    ...
}
...

@end

XXXController.m:

#import "XXXController.h"
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

@implementation XXXController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self becomeFirstResponder];
    ...
    tabBar = [[TiMTabBar alloc] initWithDelegate:self];
    //tabBar.__delegate = self;
    ...
}

#pragma mark TiMTabBar Stuff

- (void)tabBar:(TiMTabBar *)_tabBar didSelectIndex:(int)index;
{
    NSLog(@"Controller/tabBarDelegate: %d",index);
}

@end

None of this seems to work in XXXController. Anyone know how to make this work?
