I have to say, that I don't fully understand your question, I guess this is due to the language barrier, but maybe you can elaborate your explanation a little more. However, I think that I understood your problem. You want a UITabbarController (respectively it's view) to be a subview of a UINavigationController. Is that correct? The answer to this question is simple, but, I'm afraid, unsatisfying your you: You can't do that and even if you could, you shouldn't. Please have a look at Apple's excellent ViewController guide. It says:

Thus, a navigation controller can incorporate custom view controllers, and a tab bar controller can incorporate both navigation controllers and custom view controllers. However, a navigation controller should not incorporate a tab bar controller as part of its navigation interface. The resulting interface would be confusing to users because the tab bar would not be consistently visible.
