Answer 1

You can not simplly add a NavigationBar to UITableViewController like that.
The simplest way to have UINavigationController and NavigationBar is to do it from Storyboard.
Steps:-
Drag the UITableViewController Object from Object Library to the Storyboard.
Highlight the UITableViewController, go to Edit -> Embed In -> Navigation Controller like the screen shot below:-
Go to File -> New -> File.. -> iOS -> Cocoa Touch Class, and create a Custom TableViewController class like below screen shot:-
Finally, go back to storyboard and highlight the UITableViewController object. Under the identity inspector, choose the custom class that you have just created like the screen shot below:-
You may do whatever you want with the custom class file. You may also add a custom UINavigationController class as well if you want and you may attach the custom class to to the object inside the storyboard.

If this is merely the case of showing a modal UITableViewController with a navigation bar, the easiest way to do this from code is to present a UINavigationController with your UITableViewController as the rootViewController:
Presenting view controller:
let sourceSelectorTableViewController = SourceSelectorTableViewController()
let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: sourceSelectorTableViewController)
self.presentViewController(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)
Destination modal UITableViewController:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Cancel", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: self, action: "cancel")
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Done, target: self, action: "done")
self.title = "Pick a Source"
}
func cancel() {
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
func done() {
//save things
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}

Well the best solution will be presenting the
UITableViewController
as
UINavigationController
let topicsList = TopicsListViewController()
let topicsListNavContrl = UINavigationController(rootViewController: topicsList)
presentViewController(topicsListNavContrl, animated: true) { () -> Void in
print("completed")
}

Answer 4

you can do that programmatically .
DataTableViewController *vc = [[DataTableViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
[self presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];
