setting resizable and status through IHtmlDialog2 interface - why can't I see its influence?

The user pushed a button that opens a dialog (either modal or
modeless, it doesn't matter) through javascript command.
I access the IHtmlDocument, get its parentWindow -> and get the
"external" which implements the IHtmlDialog.

Now - What I need to do is to set the "resizable" and "status" to be
true or false...

When I use the IHtmlDialog->put_dialogLeft , I can see the results,
hence the dialog does move to the new position. But when I try to use
IHtmlDialog2->put_resizable or IHtmlDialog2->status, the command
succeed (return code is ok and also if I try to read the value after i
set it and i get the new value) But I don't see the change in the
dialog.

HELP ANYONE????

TIA
Noa


This is what I'm doing:

// setting left
// ----------------
VARIANT left;
wchar_t *leftstr = L"200px";
left.bstrVal = leftstr
left.vt = VT_BSTR;
spdialog->put_dialogLeft(left);

// setting resizable and status
_bstr_t newal = L"no";
spdialog2->put_resizable(newval);
spdialog2->put_status(newval);
