In LCL yes, because it isn't a widget in the normal sense (unlike in 
fpGUI). Instead LCL uses Windows-like API calls to render what TLabel 
represents. The LCL-fpGUI widgetset doesn't have all those Windows-like 
API's implemented yet.

There is actually a whole wiki page dedicated purely to "how to 
implement TLabel in a new LCL widgetset". That just goes to show how 
different and difficult it is to implement - compared to all the other 
widgets.
