label control and hwnd

is there a way to get the hwnd of a label control

i want to use the following api

GetClientRect label.hwnd, lpRect

mirtol

A label has no window. It is printed on the parent's dc.

If u need to do something with it, use a text control.

Please delete your duplicate question.

mirtol is right

Info
Label is a windowless control just like
Line
Shape
Image
and the controls in the MSWLess.ocx shipped with VB6

Can you use the Form's hwnd and specify the size & location of the label directly from its properties?

Try with:
Private Type RECT
Left As Long
Top As Long
Right As Long
Bottom As Long
End Type
Private Declare Function GetWindowRect Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, lpRect As RECT) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim r As RECT

With Label1
r.Top = .Top
r.Right = .Left + .Width
r.Bottom = .Top + .Height
r.Left = .Left
End With
GetWindowRect Me.hwnd, r
End Sub
