vc++, mdi, mfc, GetClientRect()

I have a child window, and I created a toolbar by using all the standard stuff. I also created an instance of a grid control.

I followed an example on msdn to make the toolbar work and it works fine but then when I then call GetClientRect to get the grid control to display in the right place, it ignores the tool bar and places the grid control on top of the tool bar.

int CChildFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
      if(CMDIChildWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct)) return 1;

        if (!m_wndToolBar.Create(this) || !m_wndToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR1))
        {
           TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
           return -1;      // fail to create
        }

        // TODO: Remove this if you don't want tool tips or a
        // resizeable toolbar
        m_wndToolBar.SetBarStyle(m_wndToolBar.GetBarStyle() | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC);

        // TODO: Delete these three lines if you don't want the toolbar
        // to be dockable
        m_wndToolBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
        EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
        DockControlBar(&m_wndToolBar);

      CRect clientArea;
      GetClientRect(clientArea);
      //m_wndToolBar.GetWindowRect(toolbarArea); <-- I don't think this works
      clientArea.top += 30; //toolbarArea.Height();
      //AfxMessageBox("toolbarArea.Height()");
      m_gridDataDisplay.Create(clientArea, this, 1);
      m_gridDataDisplay.SetColumnCount(2);
      m_gridDataDisplay.SetRowCount(10);
      m_gridDataDisplay.SetAutoSizeStyle();
      return 0;
