Vertical size/height of control bar in MDI app?

Hello,

I hope, someone can help me:
In a MDI-app with some toolbars and statusbar I created also a controlbar which can be docked to the left side.
My problem now: how do I get the exact height of the controlbar?

In CalcDynamicLayout I set the height for the docked state to the height of the mainframe. This value is too big, but it will work basically.

But how can I get the exact height of the controlbar?

Thx.
Ralf

I would think GetWindowRect should do it.

no, it do not.
And GetClientRect do also not work.
It returns the window size until the bottom of the screen. I do not notice a statusbar or toolbar that is placed there.

Not sure what you mean. I thought you wanted the size of the controlbar. How are you calling it?

GetWindowRect(&rect); in the Controlbar-Class.
But I do not get a rect of the visible part of the controlbar.
I do get a bigger rect of a control thats bottom is at the bottom of the screen.
