How can i invoke the TeeChart Wizard? I'm building an FMX app in C++ Builder (C++Builder 10.3 Version 26.0.33219.4899). All i see in the Palette is TChart and TChart3D:
According to the feature matrix the wizard is only available for VCL.
Nevertheless, the IDE allows starting the wizard via main menu: File - New - Other - C++ Builder projects - Windows - TeeChart Wizard. Note that the charts it creates is primarily not fully compatible with FMX.

With TeeChart VCL there are two functions to save and load a chart:
VclTee.TeeStore.SaveChartToFile
VclTee.TeeStore.LoadChartFromFile
I do not find these functions in TeeChart FMX ?
I saw that a similar function exists in the unit FMXTee.Store but I do not have this unit in the distribution of Delphi 11.2
I tried to use the TeeChart.SaveToMetafile function but I have an error at execution and there is no function to load it.
TeeChart.SaveToMetafile function reports an error at execution.
Exception when rendering at canvas.
Chart1.SaveToMetafile('c:\soft\teechart\chart.tee');
I'm afraid you won't find equivalent functions for FMX TeeChart components that ship with Delphi. Why? Delphi ships with Standard edition of VCL TeeChart components and only Lite Edition of FMX TeeChart components.
So if you want same capabilities in FMX as you have now in VCL you will have to purchase at least Standard version of TeeChart components from Stema Software

I want to create a WinForms IronPython app.
I have installed IronPython, but the toolbox is empty.
How to I add Python controls to it?
The toolbox is only available if you create an IronPython WPF Application. Unfortunately there is no designer support for a IronPython Windows Form Applications. The Windows Form has to be completely written in Python.

Trying to work with MonoDevelop (F#) on Linux and it's quite painful without the tooltips(type/func signatures) im used to in VS. Is this functionality available in MonoDevelop? Assuming latest builds.
Assuming you are using MonoDevelop 6+ there is a FSharp Addin
F# Editing Support In MonoDevelop and Xamarin Studio
Features:
Code completion
Syntax highlighting
Tooltips
Debugging
Target .NET 3.5, 4.0, 4.5
F# Interactive scripting (Alt-Enter execution)
Templates (Console Application, Library, Tutorial Project, Gtk Project, iOS, Android)
Makefile support
Supports F# 3.0 type providers (requires F# 3.0)
xbuild support for Visual Studio .fsproj and .sln files without change (requires Mono 3.0 and F# 3.0)
Prerequisites
To use F# language support please ensure that you have F# installed on your system, for details on this please see http://fsharp.org
Installation
First check install MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio. Check if F# support is already installed using the AddIn manager. MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio --> Add-in manager --> Language Bindings --> Check for F# binding
If so, just use it, no installation is required.
If not, install the F# Language Binding via the AddIn manager.
MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio --> Add-in manager --> Gallery --> Language Bindings --> F# Language Binding
Solution as per #SushiHangover advice was to build latest MonoDevelop from source. No additional addins were required to see F# tooltips. https://github.com/mono/monodevelop
I have an old Visual Basic 6.0 Installation.
In the information window (? -> About MS VB...) the Version Number is shown:
Version 9782
VBA: Retail 6.0.9782
Forms3: 12.0.6604.100
Now my questions:
What does Forms3 mean?
And where can I find updates for it (does updates exist?)?
Many thanks in advance!

PDF: Chapter 2 Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic .NET: Differences
The forms package found in Visual Basic 6 is local to that environment.
You can use Visual Basic 6 forms only in Visual Basic 6. Microsoft has tried in
the past to create a single, standard forms package that could be shared across
multiple products such as Visual Basic, C++, and Office. The initiative, called
Forms3 (pronounced Forms Cubed), never realized this goal. Forms3 is alive
and well in Office but was never made fully compatible with the Visual Basic
forms package.
This is VB6:
Version 9782
VBA: Retail 6.0.9782
Forms3: 12.0.6604.100
But the 12.0 Forms3 is from Office 2003. VB6 is tightly bound to Office in many regards and can even use the FM20 Forms Designer if you enable it. This gives you the option to "Add Microsoft Forms 2.0 Form" as well as native VB forms, primarily for creating Office add-in DLLs.
I am using VS2010 ultimate Beta2 and under Visual C# -> Workflow -> I don't see the Sequential workflow console application or state machine console application
Could someone please advise why these are missing in VS2010. I am able to see them on VS2008 ->Workflow.
Thank you
In VS2010 Pro RC1 the sequential workflow console app and state machine workflow console application are only available if you choose .Net Framework 3.5 in the combobox above the project types.
But why worry about beta 2, now that RC1 is out?
I would think that if this is a true and serious error, a bug report is probably better than a SO question.
As Guge says this is by design (It's the same in Beta/RC or RTM). In Visual Studio 2010 you have 2 different versions of Windows Workflow. The new one (4.0) uses a new runtime under the hood and has a WPF look and feel. The designer/activities are different.
The old one (3.5) -also called Legacy- can only be created in Visual Studio 2010 if you change the target framework to 3.5 or 3.0. After you do that you will have the option of State Machine/Sequential WF Console App.
Note however that after you have created the 3.5 workflow you can retarget to 4.0. This will keep the same designer/runtime but it will be running under the 4.0 Framework. Everything will work as expected.
If you try to upgrade and existing VS2008 project you will get the option of doing this.
