Hello H & J

Are you targetting Windows 8.0 or 8.1?

If 8.1 then this sample may help you:

Answer 4

Hi there

In Windows 8 the design guidance favoured the use of the search contract rather than the inclusion of a search box directly on the app pages. A sample for that is here:

In 8.1 the SearchBox control has been introduced.

Thanks
