A header menu is part of the hierarchical navigation pattern for Windows Store apps. It offers the user a shortcut to navigate to different sections of your app without needing to click the back button and drill into another section. The items in the header menu should match the sections of your hub that the user can drill into. At the bottom of the list, you should include an item to return to your hub, or home. | |

The app bar is a bar for commands that appears at the bottom of the screen. The app bar shows on right-click, or when the user swipes from the bottom or top of the screen. App bars can also be used for navigation at the top of the screen. | |

The context menu is a lightweight menu that gives users immediate access to actions (like clipboard commands) on text or UI objects in apps. The system provides apps with default context menus for text and hyperlinks. |
