Launching network settings pane in Windows 8 Metro app

Is there a way to open the "Networks" pane programmatically from a Metro app in Windows 8?

I know that the Windows.UI.ApplicationSettings.SettingsPane class will let you open the settings pane (which will have a button to open the networks pane at the bottom), but for my application I'd really like to open directly to the Networks pane.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I examined this a bit and it seems you cannot access the actual Network pane from a Metro app. The pane is part of the Explorer.exe which isn't wrapped nor accessible from any framework library on the platform. Explorer.exe is a Win32 executable.

You can see which Win32 and COM types are available from Metro http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br205757.aspx
