How can one invoke Windows 8 charmbar from a wpf application.

I know this can be done by simulating the key stroke such as win + c from application but the problem is the the same combination is used to hide the charmbar.

I have a wpf application that has a button named show charmbar but the problem is if the same button is clicked when already the charmbar is open it acts as a guide charmbar .

Or else could some body guide me on how tho get the visibility of charmbar. Such as at a given moment is the charmbar visible or not.
