Who is the client area? Are you talking about the frame window's
background?
That is a seperate window created by the frame window. You will have to
subclass the m_hWndMDIClient and put your mouse handlers there.
See this:http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/MDIFrameBackground.asp
Instead of overriding OnEraseBkgnd, you will have to catch the OnRButton
down, in CClientWnd.

After readinghttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/q133716/, I am
attempting to write a small test application which actually processes
mouse events on the mdi client area; the execution flow is not going
through OnRButtonUp(). What am I missing or what do I do wrong ? This
is the relevant code I have so far, which doesn't work as expected:

lpcs,CCreateContext *pContext) {
00000011 return CreateClient(lpcs,NULL);
00000012 }
00000013
00000014 int MainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) {
00000015 if(CMDIFrameWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1) {
