Resizing content in uinavigation controller

Question

In some cases I need to add a search bar or tab bar to my application. I use UIViewController for the UINavigationController content. Changing the frame on the UIViewControllers wont do anything.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Here's code which fails in the initWithStyle method of a UIViewController (Also fails in other methods):

CGRect frame = self.view.frame;
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, frame.size.width, frame.size.height - 49);

That might not be perfect code but it should at least move the view.

Here is a technique I use to make room beneath a UINavigationController for an AdBannerView that is global to the app. Perhaps you can do something similar.
