Questions and Answers

How do I use HiAsm?

There's a shit ton of tutorials, guides, etc on other websites, including YouTube.

Be aware that most of them are in Russian.

The elements are limiting what I can do, how do I exceed those limits?

Three options:

• If you can write JavaScript code, you can use the InlineCode element. Its located in the Tools category.
• Ask the developer(s) to make an element for what you're trying to do. Or try to make one yourself.
• Use elements that are available to do the job. Note that this may not work for some things.

Can I make apps for Windows 93?

No. Maybe in the future it will be possible as a separate pack.

Why are some elements unavailable in earlier versions?

Some things are just unavailable in them. Built-in polyfills might be added later.

I want a child window, how do I make one?

You can experiment with InlineCode, but that's probably it;

MultiElement(Ex/Poly)s are too complex to implement at the moment. They're the base of ChildWindows.

Problems and Solutions

The pack is not showing!

Make sure you:

• Didn't change the IDE's language to English. There's a weird bug that hides custom packs when the language is set to English.
• Extracted the pack correctly. Make sure you extracted it as (HiAsm installation directory)\Elements\w96 (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\HiAsm\Elements\w96). If you extracted it as a subfolder (like (HiAsm installation directory)\Elements\w96\w96), it wont work.
• Ran the w96.his file. If it shows a "unknown file" window, drag it into the HiAsm icon, or if HiAsm is open, just drag it into the IDE.
• Didn't delete the Elements.db file. It contains all elements.
