I am working on a Metro app, and as far as I know there is no datepicker control available ATM. In my app the user is working with dates, and I am looking for a way to make this less painfull for the user.
What would be the best way to go about it? Anybody have a nice custom control sample they would like to share?
I have the same problem with graphs, but I am hoping to get an access code to Teleriks preview to their Win8 controls, but I couldnt see any date or timepickers there.
Currently there is not a WinRT DatePicker as explained in this MSDN answer. Tim Heuer and some are working on some simple WinRT components. You can find their work, called Callisto, on Github. A DatePicker looks to be next on the list, but they could always use help as well. The best place to start would be the Windows Phone 7 DatePicker. You can download the source from Codeplex.
