In Windows Phone, how can I programmatically open the ApplicationBar, to let users read the button labels at app start time without the need to tap on the corner dots ("...")? Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, there isn't a way you can achieve this due to the default behavior. The ApplicationBar is meant to be expanded by the user when he taps on the dots '...'. You will have to make the user tap on the three dots and not have a way to do it programmatically.

Hopefully in the future, Windows Phone will allow this.
