(setf capi:interface-message-area) on LWW

Hello lispworkers,

When I call
     (setf (capi:interface-message-area interface) boolean)
after the interface is displayed, nothing happens.

Does anybody know whether the appearance of a message area can be settable
dynamically?

No.  And capi:redisplay-interface and capi:reinitialize-interface don't 
help.

Maybe some kind of clue - even though the message-pane is always 
visible, the message can only be changed when capi:titled-object-message 
is t.
