** Use message dialogs to present <strong>blocking questions</strong> that require the user's input.

** Use message dialogs for rror messages that apply to the <strong>overall app context</strong>[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh738363.aspx]

*Flyout

** Show a flyout only in response to a user tap or click, and you should always dismiss the flyout when the user taps outside of it [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465304.aspx#flyouts]

**<strong>Size</strong>: The Flyout should be as small as possible given its content. It doesn't need extra padding beyond what is provided by the Flyout itself. If a control isn't absolutely necessary, then don't include it.  

**<strong>Position</strong>: The Flyout should always be positioned near its point of invocation. Flyouts should never be positioned in non-contextual places such as the center of the screen. [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465341.aspx]

** Use "Title Case" only for heading text.  For other text (including button labels, menu items, etc.) use "Sentence case" [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465308.aspx][http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa511453.aspx].
