programmatically create TABBAR
<p>i created TAb bar programatically in this manner</p>

<pre><code>UITabBarController  *tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];


    contacts *vc1 = [[contacts alloc]init];

    vc1.tabBarItem.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"contacts.png"];

    search* vc2 = [[search alloc] init];

    vc2.tabBarItem.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"search.png"];

    a1* vc3 = [[a1 alloc] init];

    a2 *vc4 = [[a2 alloc] init];

    a3 *vc5 = [[a3 alloc] init];


    NSArray* controllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:vc1, vc2,vc3,vc4,vc5, nil];
    tabBarController.viewControllers = controllers;

    [self.view addSubview:detailNavCont];
    // Add the tab bar controller's current view as a subview of the window
    [self.view addSubview:tabBarController.view];
</code></pre>

<p>What i want  to accomplish is, i want to assign images to tab bar, firstly i tried on first 2 tabs, is showing a blue block instead of image.
secondly, when we create tab bar through Interface builder, there are custom tab bar item, like, contacts, search, bookmark ,compose etc.</p>

<p>so, if i want to assign contacts or search  image to my tab bar items,which looks like the one in IB, how can i do it??</p>

<p>regards</p>
