Maybe first call a RecalcLayout or RedrawPanes before calling .GetClientRect? Documentation states that GetClientRect should be the thing you want. You could use the .GetLayout and iterate all the panes and their clientrects to determine the free space, but that's quite a hassle.]]> Tue, 28 Jan 2014 05:30:44 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22180&PID=72214&title=real-client-area-size#72214 <![CDATA[Real client area size? : I&#039;m using a ribbon as well...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=22180&PID=72211&title=real-client-area-size#72211 Author: ATRML

I'm using a ribbon as well as the docking pane manager to create my UI.

My problem is that I want to dynamically compute the client area of my frame window that is NOT occupied by the ribbon or any docking pane windows.  However, calling GetClientRect() or using CXTPClientRect always gives me the full client area of the window (0, 0, width, height), which some of you know is the /entire/ window due to the way the ribbon is rendered.

I will do some research into CXTPDockingPaneManager and CXTPCommandBars to see if there are facilities there that do what I want, but I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction before I spend time doing that work.

I am a little confused why CXTPFrameWnd (or its base classes) don't override GetClientRect() to emulate the rectangle left over after XTP has rendered its UI elements.
