I am developing an app where I need a panel like the one shown below. The left panel shown in the second image slides in from the left when the user presses the plus icon next to the English dropdown.
What is this element and how can I recreate it?
This is a Windows 8.1 C# XAML app.
you should use Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.SettingsFlyout control, here is a sample that shows you how to configure the settingflyout https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/App-settings-sample-1f762f49
thats what you are looking for
There is no standard control to do all of that. Use a Grid and define an animation for the fly-in is the easiest option.
UWP (Win10) has a control to do this, called a SplitView control. More information on that an how to use it can be found on MSDN.

For creating this menu for windows 8.1 need create own control, then create style for him and etc.
Please see this post:
How to create a hamburger menu control for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone
But if you create WUP app it is very simple ;)
Windows 10 SplitView – Build Your First Hamburger Menu
p.s. if you need create hamburger menu for windows phone 8.1 existing more nu-get packages for him, like this: SlideView : Facebook-like panel for Windows Phone
Good luck.

I want to add a menu, like the Instagram's one, where the user can go to the main page of Windows Phone application, or go to the settings page. How can I do in C# for Windows Phone 8.1 ? Is the menu always there in all page, or must be coded ? Are there any Windows icon available in the SDK ?
UPDATE
I'm looking for something similar to the red one. What is the difference between the red and the cyan one ?
You mean bottom appbar? If so, you should read https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh781232.aspx and focus on Page.BottomAppBar, TopAppBar is in "big windows" only.
I am looking for a grouped collapsible navigation control for use in one of the Windows 8.1 apps I have searched quite a bit and am not able to find this control.However I do find few existing apps in the store using this control, the mail app being one such example. Is there any collapsible grouped control available ?
Else I figure I should use a custom control with a button and an attached flyout
But the flyout would disappear if the user clicks anywhere else in the screen.
Windows Phone 8 has an Expander control in the form of the Windows Phone Toolkit but the performance is very poor when put into a ListView as you would do if you were trying to mimic the built in email app. The best way I've found to get the behavior you're after is to put all of the group header items into the ListView then use an ItemTemplateSelector to choose the visual appearance of group headers vs their items, then only add the child items (to the main ListView) when the group header is expanded. It sounds complicated but I wrote a blog about it here and there is a source example of it here and here
I've got a scenario in my app where I show a popup from a appbar button in Windows 8.x (using XAML/C#).
Prior to Win 8.1, I used Callisto to show the popup. In Win 8.1, I'm trying to use the built-in Flyout and MenuFlyout controls.
Simple flyouts and menu flyouts work - but when I try to show a menu flyout off of a button that is itself in a popup/flyout - it dismisses the previous flyout/parent flyout - which is not the desired behaviour.
Here is some code to reproduce the issue:
https://github.com/krishna-nadiminti/FlyoutTest
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Ideally - I don't want to go back to using Callisto in the Win8.1 project - because I want to use the same code as part of my framework to show flyouts and secondary flyouts in universal apps.
Does anybody know if this control comes with the windows phone 8 SDK or if I must program it?
This screen appears when I go to people => click + icon. There are many very similar screens in windows phone but I don't know if they're ready controls or custom ones.
What I need is a screen that hides all background and just shows a list of options upon clicking a certain button, and I want to handle application overflow depending on the option the user chose.
Any ideas?
You can use the CustomMessageBox from toolkit http://phone.codeplex.com
it takes a Content that can be a listbox or user control.
and you can make it take the full screen.
check this: http://shawnoster.com/2012/10/welcome-custommessagebox-to-the-windows-phone-toolkit/

I want to create a simple control that has 3 buttons and a ListView under each one. When I click on the buttons their ListView should show up and other ListViews should hide. A similar approach is presented in Microsoft Outlook and this tutorial however there is slight difference between XAML in MetroStyle apps and WPF.
How can I do this in Windows 8 MetroStyle app under WinRT?
