B4J Question New to B4J

[Rajesh Roy]

We are a manufacturing organisation located in India. We came across your website and liked the product very much. I would request you to kindly help us in clearing few queries that i have on B4J

1) we have an enterprise application written on VB 6 with underlying database MS SQL server 2005 and report writing tool Crystal Report. Would like to know if any report writing tool can be attached to B4J software

2) In Visual Basic we have a concept called MSflexgrid. Di we have any concept of grid in b4j which can give is the flexibility to input data just like we do in text boxes, radio buttons, combo boxes , list boxes etc

3) Can we make b4j applications browser compatible ie can we run the applications on Browsers?

4) since we intend to develop a new software on b4j to be used as the backbone of our operations would like to know more about your organisation eg location of your HQ, list of clients in India etc.

5) Do you conduct any online training classes which can help us to make a team of developers

Look forward to your revert

Best Regards

look if your ms sql server support/have "SQL Server Reporting Services". (the designer is named Report Builder 3.0)
because Crystal Report moved to sap i used it for our vb6 application instead of Crystal Report 7.

i think similar to MSflexgrid is the tableview control in b4j. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/tableview-tutorial.35542/#content
in b4j you can easy create controls at runtime (without having one in layout as it was in vb6)

java is not javascript/html. u can make a web server which can generate web pages. see

Crystal Reports library

Crystal Reports is very old, in case of VB6 it was Crystal Report 7 (1997), then 8,9, later in .Net for some time, there exist also a Crystal Report Server.
There are also companies that can convert Crystal Reports into SSRS for money, i believe it was 40€ each.
There exists also some converting tools source code, but hard to find.

but because it belongs SAP i can not suggest to use it further.

So if i develop a billing software in b4j then how do i print the invoices?
I need a report tool that can be integrated with b4j ide so that after creating the invoice i can directly print the invoice from the b4j user interface

Exercise using Next Reports in ABM - yet it can be used in desktop as well.

This is part of the ABMaterial learning series. If you follow these lessons from the beginning, you will soon conclude that B4J / ABM / NR can re-create your existing project - as an ultra modern web-app!
