Erm... have you tried putting text in the label's Caption property,
set its width and X, Y location so that it is within the visible area
of the form, yes?

No, you haven't?

There's your problem then, hey. The field has no text so it can't be
seen, even if it is hiding behind the window title-bar.

Also, lose lblName.Show().

It looks like X and Y are taken from the top left boundary of the
form's physical coordinates and not the the top left boundary of the
visible area within the form.

Perhaps that needs to be fixed, squire.
