Any third party JavaFX component can be added to B4J. Creating a wrapper requires some Java knowledge.
If the component is simple enough (not the case with these two) then you can directly add it with JavaObject and without creating a wrapper.

Ok, I tried with #AdditionalJar and javaobject now, like this:



When running I added a brakepoint and hovered over testeditor object and got this:



That seems to display the librarys functions. Do you think a java wrapper would be necesserray in this case?

This is a large control. It will be easier to write a wrapper for this.

ok, is there some documentation on how to write a wrapper for use with b4j?

I worked a little with java many years ago, so might not be that difficult to get going again...

Example: https://github.com/AnywhereSoftware...nywheresoftware/b4j/objects/GaugeWrapper.java

You can use this tool to compile the code: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...uild-libraries-without-eclipse.29918/#content

Actually, I have been testing the b4x bundeled htmleditor now, and it is suprisingly powerfull, so I will spear myself some grief(and money) and use that instead

Now, if it only was that easy to get hold of a usable ribbon control :O
