On my Nexus 7 input keyboard I have an option to switch languages (Bulgarian, Russian and English).
I want to create such input on windows phone application, but was not able to find a way to do that?
I am not going to deploy the application on the store, just wanted to enabled this on the emulator.
Users can set this for themselves in the keyboard settings. You can't interact with the keyboard as a developer aside from setting it's inputscope (eg. web address, e-mail, numbers).

Hi I have a new protocol URL:myTest, how can I add it in windows 10 so I can see it listed in default programs? Shall I add it in registry? How/Where exactly could I do that?
I want to associate a program with this protocol.
The registration for "Default Programs" is in the registry under SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications. If your application fits one of the client types then you should point your RegisteredApplications value to Software\Clients\%ClientType%\%YourCanonicalName%\Capabilities, otherwise you can use any key like Software\%YourCompany%\%YourApp%\Capabilities or Software\Classes\Applications\%Filename%\Capabilities.
The most important subkey in your case is UrlAssociations.
You must also register your protocol in the normal way.
Some of this changed in Windows 10 and I would recommend that you test on Windows 7 or 8 as well. "Default Programs" has been deprecated in Windows 10.
You should also register yourself in the Applications key for integration with the "Open with" dialog.
This is the way it works for pure desktop apps, I'm not sure what happens if you convert a desktop app to UWP. Modern apps declare their protocol in the manifest.
I would like to control my windows mobile from desktop.
I'd like to have full access, keyboard and mouse as well.
Is there any way to do it?
If both of your devices support Miracast you can use the Connect app. Find more info on Windows Central here.
Edit: If you want to control your phone, just open the Connect app from your Action Center. This will work even for not Continuum enabled phones. You still have to enable the connection in Settings app on PC and you may have to pair the PC with the phone over the Bluetooth.
Seems like there is an app called PC remote, created by microsoft.
If that's something like what you're looking for: https://www.microsoft.com/da-dk/store/p/pc-remote/9wzdncrfhvwt.
Edit: Thats a Danish version, but I think you should be able to find an English version aswell.
I developed an app for Windows phone. Now I want to deploy it on Windows app store and wants to put restriction.I want only specific people will able to install it. How can I do that. Any suggestion will be appropriated.
Thanks,
Well that depends on who these specific people are. You can set age restrictions and region restrictions, and that's about it.
If you mean you want to hand-pick users that can use your app, then provide a login screen where you manually authorize your registered users.
If you mean that only users you choose can download the app, then you can't use the Store; you'll need to use sideloading.
You can control distribution in the Distribution and Visibility section of your app submission on the developer dashboard.
There are three basic options (for Windows 10 - two for Windows Phone 8.x):
Hide this app and prevent acquisition. Customers with a promotional code can still download it on Windows 10 devices
Give codes to the people you want to be able to use the app. This is Windows 10 only.
Hide this app in the Store. Customers with a direct link to the app’s listing can still download it, except on Windows 8 and Windows
8.1
Send links to the people you want to use the app. This will work on Windows Phone 8.1 as well as Windows 10. Anybody with a link can download it though, so it won't truly limit to just the people you want to use the app.
Hide this app and make it available only to the people you specify below, who can download this app on Windows Phone 8.x devices. A
promotional code may be used to download this app on Windows 10
devices
This is the classic beta-mode for Windows Phone 8.x. You can specify which Microsoft Accounts have access to the app.
I am developing a custom shell for a windows 8 tablet. I would like to intercept the tablets windows button press event. I am not sure how to do so. I am currently working in c#, but would be willing to consider any possible solutions. I have tried autohotkey, but the tablet button must not be the same as the keyboard windows key. Any suggestions?
I vaguely remember reading that Windows 8 requires running with admin rights. Could you try that?
