I have a technical question: In xcode there is only a data-picker and this element is not functional in my app because in my app the user must be fast to choose date time. I would to use another instrument for chose a date. Have you any suggestions?
You can probably use one of the Date pickers lots of web sites are using : some kind of calendar view where you touch at the day you want.
You may have to code your own component though.

I am trying to add a functionality to my status bar app for Mac OS X. I would like to be able to move my item along the bar, as you can do for the native OS tools like the Bluetooth or the WiFi icon.
Cheers
Update for macOS Sierra: Apple improved NSStatusItem. Items can now be reordered by ⌘-dragging. This works for all Apple’s menu items and all third party apps.
Pretty much all the reasons you could ever want to use NSMenuExtra have been removed now, which is great. So, the answer now is to just use NSStatusItem. No further action is required.
What you are looking for is NSMenuExtra and not NSMenuItem.
Apple uses NSMenuExtra for the system menu icons including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Although it looks similar to the regular NSMenuItem, NSMenuExtra has some special features, notably to keep their relative order after rebooting, and Command-Draggable by user.
Unfortunately, NSMenuExtra is totally undocumented, so if you are targeting the Mac App Store, it's better for you to stick with the standard NSMenuItem. Otherwise, there is a bunch of tutorials about how to create an NSMenuExtra. For example, here are two of them:

Unfortunately there is no 'good' way to do that, however you can check this question for the hack which can do that:

I am trying to create an interface that is similar to the interface on this website for the skill tree: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree. What is the best way to go about doing this and have the same or similar user interaction. ie. you click on a node and it activate or deactivates it. The movement of the tree and zooming on it would be nice as well. Would like to try to stay away from webView as I am thinking about features I want to add. Thanks in advance just want to see what a good way to do this is.
you can use webView and have almost a copy-paste of the presented webpage html source and load it.
However with native components you can have better performance, but it will "not a copy"
Native componets:
IIViewDeckController for iOS
iHasApp for iOS
iHasApp for iOS
There are more on that side. Consider a combination of they,
Is there a control in Sencha Touch to show a passcode field like shown in picture below?
No theres no native component who does exactly this. But you can build it by yourself: its a form with 4 input fields and a dozen buttons. See documentation for more details: http://docs.sencha.com/touch/1-1/#!/api/Ext.form.FormPanel
No, you have to build and design this one completly by yourself.
Note: To get rid of the browser controls, you have to enforce that the application is running form the homescreen. You can control (with some Javascript) if the application is running MobileSafari or as a "Web App". (see: http://cubiq.org/add-to-home-screen as an example of such an implementation)
But, however, I would not recommend using such a component. A) This can confuse people and B) Can intent users to type in their regular passcode. As a developer I wouldn't be comfortable with that situation.
I am building a iPad app that will have a calendar and that calendar will pull down its events from CalDav or from .ics.
Does anyone know of any sample code that shows the basic structure on how to do this. Is their a Calendar controller already in xCode?
You can use the TapKu Library.It may be helpful .

Not sure about CalDav of .ics but you can access the calendar using the Event Kit (from iOS 4.0). It lets you query and create calendar entries and suchlike.
You can read about it here on the Apple site.
does anyone know if there is a control for Cocoa that has the same abilities like the iCal Week View? Which means a spreadsheet like view for the whole week with Appointments to render in their timeframe.
I searched through Google for some time now and didn't find anything.
Thx in Advance

UPDATE: Found the same thing on GitHub, not sure which one is more recent

No, this is a custom view. You'll have to roll your own or find a third-party open source alternative, I'm afraid.
