Windows 8 - Fancy Progress Bars API?

Question

Does anyone know if the new \'fancy\' file transfer progress bar that Windows 8 uses for its file transfer progress is available via some API (preferably C#)? I could think

Answer 1

Unfortunatley I wouldn't expect any Windows 8 related API support until the release or a few weeks before Windows 8 is rolled out. It might even be included within a new Visual Studio service pack some time in the near future.

Answer 2

For all those interested, I have implemented a WPF version of this progress bar avaliable from my blog here (linking so I've only 1 place to keep a valid active link). I decided it was better than waiting for something available only on Windows 8 or not available at all. I hope you find it useful.
