Hello,

I have an app that is a tabBarController based app.

I have 4 tabs on it and one of these is for logging in/out in my app. The main ideea is that when I logout, I release the tabBarController (this will release the all 4 view controllers too - I have done this becuse I want to refersh all the views after logging out to look just like the first time).After this, I alloc it again and add the view controllers aagin,set the tabBarItem's titles,etc.This work ok.

The problem is when I am in landscape mode;my logout view is painted to fit the landscape area,but after disconnect(now I releasse and alloc again the tabbarController) the view is painted in portrait mode but my device is in lanscape.

After disconnected, I call the releaseOldTabView and the createNewTabView.After this tabBarController is in portrait insead of landscape.

-(void)releaseOldTabView:(BOOL)tabViewEnabled{
  if(tabViewEnabled){
      [tabBarController.view removeFromSuperview];
    [tabBarController release];

  }
}

-(void)createNewTabView{

  tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
  NSMutableArray *oneArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
  tabBarController.delegate = self;
  LoginViewController *login= [[LoginViewController2 alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
  SecondViewController *secondController = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
  ThirdViewController *thirdController = [[ThirdViewController alloc] init];
  FourthViewController *fourthController = [[FourthViewController alloc] init];
  login.tabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Login" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"connect.png"] tag:0];
  secondController.tabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"TabBar2" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tabBar2.png"] tag:1];
  thirdController.tabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"TabBar3" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tabBar3.png"] tag:2];
  fourthController.tabBarItem =  [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"TabBar4" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tabBar4.png"] tag:3];


  [oneArray addObject:login];
  [oneArray addObject:secondController];
  [oneArray addObject:thirdController];
  [oneArray addObject:fourthController];


  [tabBarController setViewControllers:oneArray];

     //[tabBarController.view convertRect:tabBarController.view.frame toView:window];
  [window addSubview:tabBarController.view];



  [oneArray release];
  [login release];
  [secondController release];
  [thirdController release];
  [fourthController release];
}

After calling this method, the tabbar view is in portrait,but statusBar(the top bar which says the carrier name) is painted normally(landscape).

I also tried the [tabBarController.view convertRect:tabBarController.view.frame toView:window]; but without any succes.

Can anyone give a hand of help?

Thanks in advance,

Alex.
