Adding flyouts and menus (XAML)
[ This article is for Windows 8.x and Windows Phone 8.x developers writing Windows Runtime apps. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation ]
A flyout is a lightweight pop-up that is used to temporarily show UI related to what the user is currently doing. Use it to show a drop-down menu from an app bar or header menu, collect input from the user, show more details about an item, or ask the user to confirm an action. A flyout should be shown only in response to a user tap or click, and is always dismissed when the user taps outside of it.
