I don't use any function of QRect I'm using QWidget_rect() from bindings
procedure QWidget_rect(handle: QWidgetH; retval: PRect);

What the binding tries to do is make your life easier. By far not as easy as PyQt, but hey. So QWidget::rect returns an instance of the class QRect. If I didn't do anything special, you would have to create a class instance of Qrect using something like QRect_create and pass it to a binding function QWidget_rect(handle, retval QRectH). As to avoid that constructor part, every QRect that is a parameter or a return value of any qt method, gets replaces with a PRect and uses the copy..rect.. functions. So here you have the method rect of the class the qwidget that normally returns a qrect -> well now it returns a PRect.
which returns PRect , which comes from CopyQRectToPRect() and that one
doesnt assign any value to PRect^.TopLeft.
?
TRect = record
case Integer of
0: (Left,Top,Right,Bottom : Longint);
1: (TopLeft,BottomRight : TPoint);
end;
So when assigning to left/top etc -> you also assign to TopLeft
(overlapping records)
In case of QWidget_rect()

Better ? :)
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qwidget.html#rect-prop not that documentation says it is always (0,0,w,h)

just like qt doc says.

I am still confused, but we will get there :-)
