Actually it is there, you just can't see it because its name is nothing/empty.
Try to add:
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
l
.
Name
:
=
'Hello'
;

thank you Handoko.
would you know who is actually doing the magic when you create the same label from the IDE?
i thought there is some inheritance like some other attributes, example autosize in the constructor for the runtime label also.

Newly created components (usually) do not have name, but if you use the form editor it will automatically generate a name for them.
One great thing about open source project is you can study the code. I looked into the IDE and I found the code that is responsible for the name creation. It is in CustomFormEditor.pas line #2263:
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
function
TCustomFormEditor
.
CreateUniqueComponentName
(
const
AClassName
:
string
;
OwnerComponent
:
TComponent
)
:
string
;
var
i
,
j
:
integer
;
begin
Result
:
=
AClassName
;
if
(
OwnerComponent
=
nil
)
or
(
Result
=
''
)
then
exit
;
i
:
=
1
;
while
true
do
begin
j
:
=
OwnerComponent
.
ComponentCount
-
1
;
Result
:
=
ClassNameToComponentName
(
AClassName
)
;
if
Result
[
length
(
Result
)
]
in
[
'0'
..
'9'
]
then
Result
:
=
Result
+
'_'
;
Result
:
=
Result
+
IntToStr
(
i
)
;
while
(
j>
=
0
)
and
(
CompareText
(
Result
,
OwnerComponent
.
Components
[
j
]
.
Name
)
<>
0
)
do
dec
(
j
)
;
if
j<
0
then
exit
;
inc
(
i
)
;
end
;
end
