If you use CFrameWnd::CreateView() to create your non-CView-derived client
window in OnCreateClient(), then MFC should handle the layout of the client
window for you...

BOOL CMyFrameWnd::OnCreateClient(LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs, CCreateContext*
pContext)
{
   // CMyClientWnd should use DECLARE_DYNCREATE/IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE

   CCreateContext Context;
   Context.m_pNewViewClass = RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyClientWnd);

   CMyClientWnd *pMyClientWnd = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CMyClientWnd,
CreateView(&Context));
   ...

Hi,

Is it possible to know the client area size of a CFrameWnd?

I want to use a CFrameWnd without doc/view support, just with a menu,
toolbars and a status bar, and in the client area, I want to place a
custom window.

I successfully created the custom window in my CFrameWnd::OnCreateClient
but now I need to change its size to fill the empty area where the views
are usually placed. Using the client rect (GetClientRect) gives me the
rect of the whole client area, and my window gets on top of toolbars and
menus.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Pedro Ferreira
