GetTickCount is a Windows API call. You can use Time functions
instead.

TSpinButton AFAIK is not a Lazarus component.

delete the tspin reference in the uses clause...lazarus does have a
spin control...but its named differently from the delphi one (from
memory when I had the same problem)

Include the Lazarus LclIntf unit - it includes GetTickCount.

The Lazarus LCL includes a control called TSpinEdit, but no component
with the same name as Delphi's TSpinButton. If you want to be able to
compile your code with both Delphi and Lazarus, consider replacing the
TSpinButton control with the Orpheus TOvcSpinner control, which is
available for both Delphi and Lazarus:

ops, I thought he had meant tspinedit  (under samples in delphi)
my fault
LclIntf unit  I added myself after seeing that mentioned
elsewhere...good call there too!
I think I will go back under where I came from ,LOL

Thanks to all

Phil, as u suggested I downloaded and install Orpheus.And added
TOvcSpinner control.so removed error of undefined  identifier
TSpinButton.

How to include Include the Lazarus LclIntf unit .Please chk syntax
what I have done:
uses
 LCLIntf,

Is it correct way of including unit??? As I am not getting error..but
just want to confirm it.

Thanks & Regards
