B4J Question Desktop app with independent menu bar

[BitsAndBytes]

I want to develop a sqlite app with 1 Form and 3 layouts(Customers, Products, Sales) and 1 menu bar. My problem is that on each layout i must add 1 Menubar and it is very hard to update each menubar on every layout when its needed. Is a way to add the menuBar on Form and load the layouts below the menu bar? Thank you!

I would use one Main layout with the menu on top. and 3 Panes below the menu, one for each layout.
Then the 3 other layouts which you load into the Panes.
Then you can use the Visible property to show the relevant Pane and hide the others.

What about if my program grow bigger? It will be a mess with so many panes

You asked for 3 layouts !?
How many Panes could / would you have ?

It will be a mess with so many panes

I think that you won't several tenths of Panes, so would it really be that difficult? I don't think so.
If you save the current Pane in a variable you know which one is active and you can hide it before setting the new one visible.
For the code you could probably use classes, one for each Pane. I have never tested this.
