Share My Creation [B4J] [Project Template]🎉 Free Excel-Style UI with JDashboardUI

Hello B4X community!

I’m excited to introduce a new B4XTemplate designed for desktop applications built with B4J, featuring an interface that mimics the look and basic functionality of a spreadsheet like Excel. This template is built to help developers create modern and functional apps using the powerful JDashboardUI library.

Main Features:​

1. Modern and professional interface:
   • A stylized toolbar that includes buttons for:
     • New file
     • Open file
     • Save
     • Cut, Copy, and Paste
     • Document properties
     • Encrypt with password (UI option)
   • Note: By default, the buttons have no functionality assigned. They are included as demo elements for developers to customize as needed.
2. Integrated database management:
   • The Databasetab includes tools to:
     • Load an existing database.
     • View and edit tables directly in a JTableView.
     • Save changes made to the tables.
3. Help functionality:
   • The Help tab displays a modern "About" dialog, providing information about the application.
4. Easy installation and use:
   • B4XTemplates are simple to use—just place them directly into the additional libraries folder, and they’ll integrate seamlessly into the B4J IDE.
5. Spreadsheet-style grid:
   • Includes a visual grid similar to Excel for displaying and organizing data.
