Is there an API for the new Windows 8 progress dialog?

Here we see a Windows 8 progress dialog in its natural habitat; extracting a .zip file:

enter image description here

Note: i use the term "progress dialog" to refer to a dialog that indicates progress. Not to be confused with the Windows Shell "Progress Dialog", which has a supported IProgressDialog api.

My quick perusal of the MSDN Windows 8 Technologies list showed nothing that looked similar to something that might be related to an area of interest that i'm looking into. (i.e. just because i said it, doesn't make it true. No reason to close the question)

    It's not made available (yet) to us lowly app developers. See the forum thread [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9978078/windows-8-fancy-progress-bars-via-c) - one fine gent has [rolled his own](http://wrightdev.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/wpf-ratebar/). – SWalters Dec 28 '12 at 03:36

As mentioned here, there is no official one available out there yet.
However, you may find some custom developed ones on the Internet.
