Application Controls
Adam Freeman · Apress eBooks · 2012
For the most part, the user interface controls you use in a Windows 8 app are the same as the ones you use when creating a regular HTML web app. If you want to gather data from the user, then you can use elements such as select , input , and textarea . If you want to allow the user to commence an action, then you can use button elements, and so on. The appearance of these elements in your app is controlled by a combination of the CSS in your project and the capabilities of Internet Explorer 10.
