Get the coordinates for the area within the main window available for client UI components.

The Application Frame reserves a portion of the client area for its own UI. Use the coordinates given by this method to determine the available space for control placement in the main UI. Absolute positioning of controls based on (0,0) is inappropriate and will cause controls to paint under the frame's UI. Similarly, this method should be used instead of GetClientRect, which will return an area including the region under the frame.

Returns:

Main window client area, relative to the main window's upper left corner.
