There are a few threads around that have working solutions, there's a good discussion of a few methods here (including one of mine):

Depending on how you have your program working so far, there is also the API PtInRegion. There are a few threads about it on this site, a search should give you several examples

Here is all the code you need. It's much faster than PtInRegion and it doesn't require the API....
