In windows phone settings in several paces presented very interesting control:
What is the name of this control? Where can I find this control?
It's a ListPicker. Not part of the standard controls, but part of the Windows Phone Toolkit (and can be found on NuGet also)

There are missing controls under the toolbox menu in VS 2022: I cannot find labels, tab controls and many other items I would use.
Thanks in advance
UWP does not support controls from WinForms WPF and other
Instead of a label, you could use a TextBlock.
This is the new UWP tabcontrol you could use:

You can also check out the WinUi 2 Gallery. Every UWP control is listed there: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/winui-2-gallery/9MSVH128X2ZT
As #FrozenAssassine mentioned, UWP development is different from the traditional desktop app development. The controls are not the same as those you used to use before. The link he provides is really useful.
In addition to his answer, as you are new to UWP development, you could also go through this document: Develop UWP apps. This document could help you start the UWP development.
Is there an appropriate control to create an Icons Menu in Windows Mobile 6 or 6.5?
I am creating my own user control, but its hard to belive that such an important feature is missing.
This is the user control that I am developing:
Thanks in advance.
The native menu does not support icons or graphics, it always was text only.
You may have to mimic the native menu behavior and show your app in full screen to disable the standard menu bar.
I should get a date from the user inside a WP 8.1 app, I need something like the DateTimePicker which I use in Windows Forms or the DatePicker of WPF environment, do you know ho to do this?
I tried to search something similar to DatePicker in windows phone but I can't find anything!
My app should get this date to generate a fiscal code, so I need to get the user's birthday.
Is there any tag to add to my xaml file?
Thanks a lot guys!
I think this will solve your problem!
<DatePicker x:Name=birthdayDatePicker Header="Birthday Date"/>
The question is what kind of WP 8.1 app you're developing? Windows Runtime or Silverlight? If the first one, then you can just use DatePicker control, because it's built in.
But, if your app uses Silverlight, then you have to import Windows Phone Toolkit first. You can do it easily: right-click on your project name in Solution Explorer, then choose Manage NuGet Packages.... Type wptoolkit in a search box and you will find Windows Phone Toolkit. Just install it. Now, go to you XAML code and add toolkit namespace:
xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"
Now you can add DatePicker to your layout:
<toolkit:DatePicker Header="Birthday date"/>
I'm developing a simple Windows Phone 8 application and I need a user control to activate/deactivate a generic option. In other words, I'm looking for something link the Proxy field in this image.
I tried using System.Windows.Controls.Slider, but it allows only double value and I can't find a way to configure it to a on/off mode.
Which user control i should use?
I believe you are wanting the ToggleSwitch control http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.toggleswitch
The toggle switch can be found as part of the later versions of the Phone SDK http://phone.codeplex.com/
I am Creating a Windows Application in which there numerous forms. I want to create a general theme for all forms like style sheets or theme files in webapplication. Is there any way for setting themes in Windows application?
Unfortunately this is something that lacks support in WinForms. There are third party controls allowing you to achieve this but nothing out of the box. This concept has been introduced in WPF which is intended to replace WinForms.
You can use a third party dll to change theme of your windows form like DotnetSkin, DevExpress etc.
