Hello Peter,

After calling:

SetPropertyValue[{"myFrame", "Size"},
   Widget["Dimension", {"width" -> 600, "height" -> 500}]];

try adding

InvokeMethod[{"myFrame", "Validate"}];

which will programmatically recompute the new sizes of the frame and all
its children, including the image label's new display and size based on
its new image data.

Thanks
