Custom datepicker for Windows 8

Because of the development needs, you have to use the time and date options. On Windows 8 apps, Microsoft does not provide such an important control as datepicker, which is available on Windows phones.

Then you have to write one by yourself and check whether there are any wheels. Google a bit, there are good but to charge, and then I found the http://www.irisclasson.com/2012/07/19/example-metro-app-winrt-homemade-chart-and-datepicker-for-metro-apps/ to find the wheel, build a car!

Let's take a look at the running effect.

In fact, the principle is to use three comboboxes, and then customize the style with data binding.

Currently, only the time and date options are available. What is insufficient is that the experience on the tablet is not very good, and each scroll cannot accurately scroll one item. Wait for guidance from experts.
