As a TGraphicControl descendant, TLabel doesn't have a HWND, which means it's not capable of processing messages on its own. I guess it's probably the TLabel.FocusControl that somehow intercepts and processes the message on TLabel's behalf, so it might work in this case. Have you tried using TStaticText instead? AFAIK, that one is better suited for applications that need to be compatible with screen readers. I’m surprised to hear a screen reader is even able to read TLabel’s Caption, themed or otherwise.
