Hello, I am currently working on an application for Windows Phone 7+ and am lost as to how to create a dynamic menu bar at the bottom of my application. When the user clicks on the bar at the bottom, it should act exactly like the Application Bar by sliding about halfway up the screen. I have tried multiple approaches and can't seem to replicate the behavior of the Application Bar. Here is a screenshot of the custom object in question: http://i.imgur.com/1If0pFt.jpg[^] Again, when any one of the icons at the bottom is pressed, I want the entire bar to slide up as if the "..." on the Application Bar was pressed. Any feedback is welcome. Thank you, TiDe
