It's been quite a bit of time since last I played with the GUI like
this, but I suppose that the border and caption do not belong to the
toolbar's window when floating. I assume you need to call GetParent( )
to get the window on which the toolbar is resting, and then call
GetWindowRect( ) on that window. I have no idea of exactly which class
in the MFC hierarchy implements that functionality, but I suppose you
can simply use the CWnd version for your purpose.
