Formativ Example Applets Pack

The applets below represent a cross section of the type of solutions that can be written using Formativ applets. Formativ Creator and Studio users are free to use these applets and modify them as required. You can download the Formativ Example Applets Pack installer from the Formativ Download page.

Please note the example applets are provided as-is, and are not supported by Advansys. However, if you happen to encounter a problem, we welcome your feedback.

NOTE: As the example applets are provided as open source, they will work only with the Formativ Creator or Studio products and NOT with Formativ Runtime. Those marked Version 2.0 require Formativ 2.0 or above.

Brief documentation for each applet can be found within the source code comments.
