We have created a C# windows form application that uses an ActiveX control to display video stream. Now we are planning to develop the same application in windows phone.
Is it possible to use ActiveX controls (OCX Files) in windows phone development?
No its not. You can only use Silverlight and XNA on Windows Phone.
You already have a Media content available using Silverlight that you can use to stream Video. You can find more information here:

It can get as simple as something like this:

I've been struggling to add a calendar control to my windows phone 8.1 silverlight application but i found nothing, i used syncfusion calendar control once but it was a windows phone 8.1 application not silverlight one, please anyone can provide a useful information?
You could take a look at the Calendar control for WindowsPhone Silverlight from ComponentOne. You could download it from https://www.componentone.com/Downloads/Download/?downloadID=133 and refer to its documentation at : http://helpcentral.componentone.com/nethelp/WPCalendar/
I am developing a LOB web app using jquery mobile for Windows tablets. I was going to use the feature that was available on Windows 8 which is to take a picture on the file picker. and send the image in a form. However, since I updated yesterday my computer to win 8.1 there is no Camera App in the file picker anymore. I don't know if there is a way to have it back there. Or if there is another photo app that implements the filepicker contract.
Thanks

Windows Store Apps has Popup control. You can host any controls within it.

Is there a web browser or web view control available to Windows Phone 8 applications written in C++? I've found a WebBrowser control but that seems to be only available in Windows Phone 7 written in C#.
There's no way to directly use a WebBrowser control in C++. You'll have to create a mixed C++ and XAML projects and overlay the on top of your DirectX .
Note, using Hybrid XAML & D3D apps has a small performance hit over using pure C++ D3D apps. Even if you never show any XAML, just initializing the full CLR and loading up XAML for is still pretty heavy. Read more about it on MSDN here and here.
On other thing that might be applicable to you is that the WebBrowserTask has been ported over to WinRT so it's accessible from C++. Alongside with the Launcher.LaunchUriAsync() method it allows you to navigate away from your app and open up IE10 to a specific page.
Over the course of time I received a number of comments on my blog in this area. Many questions were asked like “Can you use WinRT from Desktop applications?”, “Can you use WinRT from .NET applications?”, “Can you use WinRT from .NET applications?” etc? If so, how?
Yes, you can and for more information refer to http://kishore1021.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/can-you-use-windows-8-winrt-api-from-net-desktop-applications/
Coming to architecting such applications, the best way to go forward is to develop a Portable Class Library and access the API's that can be used from Desktop, Store and Phone apps. By this kind of design, you don't rewrite the business logic code for each device. For detailed information on PCL, see http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/This+Week+On+Channel+9/TWC9-August-10-2012
The subset of the Win32 and COM API that can be used in a Metro style app is indicated in the header files in the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Metro style Apps. Look for the following statements in the header files:
#pragma region Application Family
#pragma region Desktop Family
