Question

I am developing a metro application using visual studio 2012. I am trying to get an AppBar in my metro application. How do I do that?

Answer 1

There are a LOT of samples in the MSDN Dev Center, http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsapps. One of them is specifically an AppBar sample, and the description reads:

This sample demonstrates how to use the AppBar control to present
navigation, commands, and tools to users.

The app bar is hidden by default and appears when users swipe a finger
from the top or bottom edge of the screen. It covers the content of
the app and can be dismissed by the user with an edge swipe, or by
interacting with the app. This sample shows how to add an app bar,
customize the app bar, and control the app bar. Also, it shows how to
use sticky app bars and global app bars.

I think this will get you started.
