The answer is to have the Toolbar window as a child of the FRAME window,
not of the MDI client.  All you have to do then is process the WM_SIZE
message in the frame window proc, and resize/move the MDI client window
yourself, rather than passing WM_SIZE on to DefFrameProc, which resizes
the MDI client to fill the client area of the frame window.

Best wishes,
