I've tried using automation tools to aquire the control class, handle, etc., but realized that the TLabel isn't automation friendly... as I verified on the delphi about . com website article named "TLabel, TStaticText - Delphi Label Control Usage, Tips and Tricks" (I cant post links)

How would I retrieve information from a TLabel? Would I have to hook into a certain windows function to peek at the parameters as it is updated?

A tlabel tends to be a normal window so find the window of that tlabel and get the title of that window

The problem, @Dark_Byte is that there is no handle associated with TLabels. I believe they are drawn on the window using graphical functions.

Edit: I found this after a little more searching:
functionx. com/cppbuilder/controls/label. htm

As seen there, it is derived from a TGraphicControl, which uses some draw functions to display it on the screen[/code]
