Ah.. this is a common issue. While a lot of ppl think all routines you use in
delphi are from delphi, it in fact isn't.
You have the ones made by Borland which you will find in the rtl or vcl and
you have the translation of windows api.
PtInRect is such function. It is defined in the Windows Unit.
Since Lazarus is crossplatform, it doesn't have a windows unit. Most common
used winapi functions you normally would find in the windows unit are
implemented in the LCIIntf unit.

Well in that case stop stressing and just post a quick message to the
FPC or Lazarus mailing list and ask what you are looking for (by
describing it) and if there exists such a function. The Lazarus
mailing list has a friendly bunch of people (we don't bite) and
replies are written quite quickly. You can even use the IRC channel if
you like (though I'm not a IRC fan).
Thanks Marc and Graeme
PtInRect wasn't a show-stopper. Probably only took about 10 minutes looking, if
that.
About all platforms have some kind of PtInRect, isn't rocket science.
PtInRect was just a convenient example I recalled of something 'dirt common'
down in there that doesn't seem documented or REALLY EASY to find.
It was not DIFFICULT to find, but 5 or 10 minutes here and there, eventually add
up (grin). I do a lot of looking-up of functions, because my memory is too poor
to remember their details.

Not sure how current this one is, but is useful just the same:

George, thanks. Had not found those pages. That's great!
Noticed that it was generated in 2003 by PasDoc.
http://pasdoc.sipsolutions.net/
Didn't know about PasDoc. That is a fabulous tool.
I downloaded PasDoc and GraphViz, ran it on one of my huge projects, and it is
fabulous cross-reference, and pretty decent documentation, in areas where I
typed in adequate comments. It runs surprisingly fast.
I don't have time to run PasDoc on the Lazarus folder, but that might be an
entirely adequate solution to SteveG's quest (and what I was piling-on about).
PasDoc picks out relevant comments so well, it makes me think the following--
A lot of Lazarus code is not verbosely commented, probably for stylistic
preferences of the developers.
But if some of us could chip in enough contributions for a 'commenting bounty',
to entice one of the experts who knows LCL forward/backward, to take a week or
whatever, weed thru all the code and add verbose comments...
Running PasDoc on verbosely commented LCL code would probably generate an
eminently useful "Lazarus Innards Reference Manual"?
