Canvas - Rectangle. Is there an easy way to detect if you're inside?

[Marc]

The problem is that I have other objects in the rectangle that I'm basically
using as a holder. So if I use the closest function, then sometimes when I
have more than one object in the rectangle it will pick up the other
objects. Therefore I simply need a way of always knowing when the cursor is
within the bounds of the rectangle.

Like I say, I am doing it right now with a bunch of if statements. It works
fine. But it's sort of a brute force method. Seems kind of hackish. It just
seems like one of those things where there has to be a cleaner way.
