We have an XPages (web) application which includes a date field. When editable the field gets rendered automatically with a dojo-based date picker popup, which works on a desktop and iPad.
Since installing Feature Pack 8 the default behaviour of the date picker when accessed from an iPad has changed to use the native iOS date picker instead (via the HTML5 attribute). Prior to feature pack 8 it use the dojo-based date picker button/popup.
How do we go back to how it was before and enforce the dojo datepicker on the iPad? There are some comments around date picker behaviour in the feature-pack 8 release notes but they are around the use of the mobile theme which we are not using in this instance.
Thanks.

I'm currently developing a UWP app and I stumbled upon this in google, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/controls-and-patterns/calendar-date-picker
I'm currently using date picker in selecting dates but I thinks the calendar date picker is more suitable for this. I used date picker back then because I can't find calendar date picker in my toolbox and I believed it is not available for UWP. But referring to the link above, it should be available in my toolbox.
I really really want to use the calendar date picker.
It seems that you’re developing universal windows 8.1 app, not UWP app (windows 10). So you would not use “Calendar date picker” control in your project.
If you want to use it, you would need to update your OS to windows 10, and install windows 10 SDK. More information, please refer to this document about “Get started with Windows apps” for details.
Just use it in your xaml
<CalendarDatePicker />
Since you seem to have the documentation link, and there's no particular question I don't know what else to add.
Note that CalendarDatePicker needs DateTime object to bind but simple DatePicker DateTimeOffset object to bind. If you want to create CalendarDatePicker without any default value you have to use nullable DateTime by
DateTime? date {get;set;}= null;
at code behind and bind it with x:Bind.
On the other hand, i recommend to try use telerik controls. For me RadCallendar looks really great ;)
If you are developing UWP there is Calendar Date Picker Control.
Copy below code into your .xaml file:
<Grid>
<CalendarDatePicker x:Name="myCalendar" Header="Select Date"/>
</Grid>

I am new on windows phone development and I need scroll number picker (as time picker in Alarm app) as shown in image how can i get it.....

If you just need a list of numbers similar to the TimePicker then populate the same primitive controls that the TimePicker uses. In this case you're look at LoopingSelector, you still need to NuGet/Install the windows phone toolkit.
Use
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage
xmlns:toolkit_primitives="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Primitives;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit">
<toolkit_primitives:LoopingSelector>
<primitives:LoopingSelector.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!-- design your own square box+text -->
</DataTemplate>
</primitives:LoopingSelector.ItemTemplate>
</toolkit_primitives:LoopingSelector>
For more information:
See TimePickerPage.xaml Source Code
See MSDN Forum on LoopingSelector

If you're using WP 8.0+ SL then see this SO Post: TimePicker 24h Format. It deals with the Windows Phone Toolkit: TimePicker <toolkit:TimePicker>
Else if you're doing a WP8.1 runtime app just set the ClockIdentifier to 24HourClock.
<TimePicker Header="24HourClock" ClockIdentifier="24HourClock"/>
Windows 8 metro style app tiles are created based on pre-defined xml templates (found here).
Is there any way to hook up to Windows' rendering of the tile to allow a tile preview within an app?
In my app I would like to offer the user a subset of the tile templates listed in the above link and let the user customize the tile content. A live preview of the customized tile rendered within my app would greatly improve the user experience.
you should look into HubTile.
I don't know any free control's right now, but Telerik and Syncfusion have HubTile control
You can't get access to real Windows tile rendering, but you can simulate it since all templates are known. It is very unlikely that Microsoft would change the way tiles are rendered and even if they do you should be able to issue app update to keep up with Microsoft.
I have a Metro app using a WebView control. I'm using NavigateToString to load a html file which may contain hyperlinks. What I then want to do is detect when one of these hyperlinks is selected and, instead of allowing navigation within the WebView control, to launch IE and view the page there instead.
Is this possible within the WinRT constraints, and if so, how?
So far, I've tried capturing the WebView_LoadCompleted() event, but although it does fire at the right time, I can't see any details about the URI from the NavigationEventArgs.
Unfortunately this isn't possible directly because WebView does not include events like Navigating (which were present in Windows Phone).
Luckily Nick Randolph (brilliant Windows Phone and Windows 8 developer) has created a workaround using script events. He's got a great write up on his blog:
