On Windows all windowed controls (derived from TWinControl) are 
accessible through the WinAPI. IMO TLabel is the only text control 
without a window handle; this is by design and should not be changed. 
Graphic controls do not deserve a window handle, and thus are not 
normally accessible by the WinAPI.
