I would like the Help Text area to use the available free space below the grid with a minimum height of 40 pixels.
 
I don't see a simple way to do this. It's purely cosmetic...

Hi,
What _all_ available space ? in pane ?   Call GetClientRect and decrease height of items you need. Actually have no idea what do you need.

Hi,

Sorry - I have not been clear. In the attached picture there is space below the grid and above the help text. I would like the help area to use all the space below the grid, but I can't find out how big the grid is, also I would need grid resizing notifications (these are available I think).
 
So it's just a question of calculating the grid size - but how :-(
 
This is not essential!

Hi,
 
You can call pItem->GetItemRect() for last item.
