Set label properties dynamically from java code

Rocker

Hi,
I have this event Handler class which is creating labels on the fly. I am unable however to set its properties like font and padding through code. I am aware of the java script equivalent which is,

this.getStyle().backgroundColor="red";

but what is the Java way to do it??
I have created the label as:

LabelHandle label1=elementFactoryObject.newLabel("Label1");

No how to add the font and padding properties to this label1 object??

thanks in advance

I guess I asked too soon..

Got it working finally and this is the equivalent java code;

StyleHandle labelStyle=label1.getPrivateStyle();
FontHandle fontHandle=labelStyle.getFontFamilyHandle();
fontHandle.setStringValue("Verdana");

DimensionHandle padd= labelStyle.getPaddingTop();
padd.setAbsolute(20);
