Re: Reserving screen space on main frame

Now I've noticed that UpdateLayout is not actually a virtual method.  So, what I did was something like this:

	void UpdateLayout(BOOL bResizeBars = TRUE)
	{
		RECT rect = { 0 };
		GetClientRect(&rect);

		UpdateBarsPosition(rect, bResizeBars);
		UpdateCustomFrameControlsPosition(rect);

snip

	}

	virtual void UpdateCustomFrameControlsPosition(RECT& rect)
	{
		;
	}

Then I on hope to override it in my derived frame.
