FYI: The reason, why the codetools can find your existing onclick, but not
the objpas, is that they do not compile like fpc. They parse and search
units on the fly. This feature is important for speed and to work with code
under construction.

- Maybe the IDE didn't notice, that you updated your fpc. Try Environment ->
Rescan fpc source dir.
- If this does not work, check if the IDE actually found the objpas unit.
There are quite a lot of fpc units, so the easiest way is to grep in
~/.lazarus/inputhistory.xml for objpas.
For fpc 1.9 there should be a line

objpas <your fpc src path>/rtl/objpas/objpas.pp

Is it there?
