Create an edit button

Sorry, Im fairly new to this and was wondering how to create an edit button as a bar button item...

What I did is I placed a bar button item on the right side of the navigation bar and created an

- (IBAction)editButton:(id)sender;

I tried to hook this up to the button, but the option doesn't show up. How do I get this button to do something when its clicked?

Thank you for your help!

CTRL + click on the bar button item, and drag it to the impementation file of the view controller, viewController.m. Then you would be able to create an IBAction method.

Ok, here is the way. If you have a view controller "first" and you navigate another view controller "second" by pushing a button or etc. you need to do some work. First you need to create a BarButtonItem in "second" view controller's ViewDidLoad method like this;

UIBarButtonItem *btnBack = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
                               initWithTitle:@"Back" 
                               style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
                               target:self
                               action:@selector(OnClick_btnBack:)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = btnBack;
[btnBack release];

After you do that, you need to write to code for "btnBack" action in the same .m file like this;

-(IBAction)OnClick_btnBack:(id)sender  {
      [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    //[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.navigationController.parentViewController animated:YES];
}

That's all.
