- The answer is to have the Toolbar window as a child of the FRAME window,
- not of the MDI client. All you have to do then is process the WM_SIZE
- message in the frame window proc, and resize/move the MDI client window
- yourself, rather than passing WM_SIZE on to DefFrameProc, which resizes
- the MDI client to fill the client area of the frame window.
