Hi,

Sorry, some basic questions of FCL (hopefully short!):

- where is it documented? (which manual?) I can't find it...
- which unit do I have to include? (both OBJECTS and CLASSES seem to work!) (I am interested in classes, not objects)
- how can I know which objects have been implemented? I have a file (taken from somewhere, can't remember) called FreePascal Object Chart (classchart.gif), which of these are implemented? (please, do let me know if it has been updated...)

I'd like to use the most generic units, those independent of platform (I guess TObject and some others...).

The documentation is not yet finished. See
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/classes/
for a preliminary version.
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/classes.pdf
contains a .pdf version of the same documentation.

Classes.

- how can I know which objects have been implemented? I have a file (taken from somewhere, can't remember) called FreePascal Object Chart (classchart.gif), which of these are implemented? (please, do let me know if it has been updated...)

The chart should be pretty complete.

Most FCL units are generic and are cross-platform.

Thanks!
Just one more...

I'd need to know the status of TControl and some others, TControl is shown in the chart, but it is documented, and it doesn't seem to be implemented in the only version of FPC where I tested, a very old 0.99.X... (I'll test in in the newer versions), but I'd like to know its status: unimplemented, undocumented, out of FCL...

TControl and what comes behind is implemented by the Lazarus team. The FCL only contains non-visual classes.
