Reserving screen space on main frame

Hello.  I am writing a WTL application and for whatever maddening reasons I have decided to not use the existing menu/toolbar structure and have my own navigation and toolbar in place instead.  I understand how to not have items on the main window, by monkeying with OnCreate in MainFrm.h, but, what I would like to do is have my u/i in MainFrm reserve some space for its my custom widget, which it would draw, but then still have the view move correspondingly.

I suppose I could brute force it by handling WM_SIZE, etc, but I notice that the existing frame seems to always have the view the right size, taking into consideration the other decorations.  What do I need to do to have my widget play with MainFrame in the right way.  What I'd really like to do, ultimately, is have mymainframe and menu be a single class so I can reuse the navigation for other projects and have a ready to go frame.
