RE: Reserving screen space on main frame

You can see how the WTL frame class does it by looking at its implementation
of Updatelayout().
UpdateLayout() calls UpdateBarsPostion() to position the tool and status
bars then moves the client window to occupy the remaining space.

All you need to do is provide an implementation of UpdateLayout() in your
frame class which moves the client and widget to the positions appropriate
for your layout.
