Magma Expert Licensed User Longtime User Feb 20, 2022 #2 Hi there.. You can use this great tool Formbuilder (win, b4j) to produce Json files that could use at b4a b4x preferencesdialog.. Installing b4j at windows is simple... just follow the instructions here.. Also have here open java, .net link need B4J – RAD development tool for cross platform desktop, server and IoT solutions B4J is a 100% free programming tool, similar to B4A that generates desktop, server and web applications. www.b4x.com Then search for hundreds of b4x preferencesdialog examples for b4a... My opinion is better use open java and not JavaFX... at b4a too... except you create 32bit apps.. that is not possible with open java. Last edited: Feb 20, 2022 Upvote 1

Unobtainius Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 21, 2022 #3 The forms builder you found is a wonderful tool. I do have B4J installed but I am sure I found this tool before I did have it installed. If you are running windows you should be able to find the .jar in the folders of the B4J project without having open the project and compile it yourself (I could be wrong) but I think it should be there. Double clicking on the .jar file ran it in windows for me Hope this helps Upvote 0

Guenter Becker Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 21, 2022 #4 Good Morning to you, thank you for your help. @Unobtainius: no the jar file is not in the example folder. Solution: After having some problems I installed the b4j suite, loaded the Forms Builder Project. The problems are easily solved if one followes the installation instruction on the Anywhere b4x download page. That is what I did not correct because I had Java already installed but not the one requested by the install instruction. Killed all my Java and installad it new new following the instruction and now its working. I compiled the project to a standalone package. Put the created folders in my b4a development tools folder. Created a windows file link to the .exe file and added this to the windows start menu. Now it's easy to open the FormsBuilder Tool by a click to create the jason files. Thank you for all your comments and please stay away from that ugly covid. Upvote 0
