layout and borders not persisting [message #164241]

I implemented some methods to retrieve if an user change my custom
property "bordersize" and/or another set named "padding left" (right..
top..etc)
to place the label of a node where the user want and to show the right
size of the border as chosen.
So to update the border I create a "new marginborder" and display, to
update the padding I create a "new flowlayout"
The problem is that whenever I change one of these two, the other get
reset.
Perhaps this is due to the "new" thing, that destroys the old layout
manger..
but I really can't get my hands on the actual layout.
I can only get the "layoutmanager", but not its layout.
And this way may be wrong too...
What can be the source of my trouble? I must not loose nor the margin nor
the padding, once set!

Thanks

I realized one more thing.

the method I use to show the wanted border and color is something similar
to:

figure.setBorder(new LineBorder(customcolor,customsize));

and the method (below, in the same class) to show the custom padding is:

[..]
retrieve the "insets" stuff blah blah..
[..]
figure.setBorder(new
MarginBorder(PaddingTop,PaddingLeft,PaddingBottom,PaddingRig ht));

I think that since the're called <together>, in line the most of the
times, it's obvious that one exclude the other.

Now the question is: how to merge these two guys here?
