The ".Caption" way is the correct way of doing it.

Why you don't want to use ".caption"

Well, if you are masochistic you can use the WM_GETTEXT API message to get the text from the edit control...

Hi guys
I think Radler is right.
Simonet: Sorry a TCustomLabel has no caption property.
rwilson: WM_GETTEXT works only for windows (TWincontrols). Since TCustomLabel is a TGraphicControl that uses the parent TWinControl to be drawn, WM_GETTEXT will not work to extract the caption from a TCustomLabel.

It is Controls[i].GetTextBuf( Txt, 127 ); and not
  Controls[i].GetTextBuffer( Txt, 127 );
