Custom window frame results in weird rebar position - c++

Question

I'm new to Win32 and I am trying to have the window frame extended in the hopes of having a custom menu over there in the non-client area while also adding a rebar. Unfortunately, the extended frame causes the rebar to be placed at the top of the window like you see in this pic instead of below the title bar. The rebar seems to be one of those controls with fixed position like the menu bar. I tried moving the position programmatically but I had no succes. I tried creating the rebar before actually extending the frame but the result is the same.
Here's my code taken mostly from this site and MSDN:
// Called from the window procedure (see below) and adds the rebar
VOID MainWindow::addControls(HWND hwnd) {
INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX iccx;
iccx.dwSize = sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);
iccx.dwICC = ICC_BAR_CLASSES | ICC_COOL_CLASSES;
InitCommonControlsEx(&iccx);
// ...
wRebar = CreateWindowEx(0, REBARCLASSNAME, L"",
WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | RBS_AUTOSIZE,
0, 0, 0, 0, // modifying these does nothing
hwnd, (HMENU)9000, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);
hr = GetLastError();
REBARINFO ri = { 0 };
ri.cbSize = sizeof(REBARINFO);
SendMessage(wRebar, RB_SETBARINFO, 0, (LPARAM)&ri);
// Insert a image
HICON hImg = (HICON)LoadImage(0, IDI_QUESTION, IMAGE_ICON, 0, 0, LR_SHARED);
HWND hwndImg = CreateWindow(L"STATIC", NULL,
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SS_ICON | SS_REALSIZEIMAGE | SS_NOTIFY,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, wRebar, (HMENU)NULL, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);
// Set static control image
SendMessage(hwndImg, STM_SETICON, (WPARAM)hImg, NULL);
REBARBANDINFO rbBand;
rbBand.cbSize = sizeof(REBARBANDINFO);
rbBand.fMask = RBBIM_STYLE | RBBIM_CHILDSIZE | RBBIM_CHILD | RBBIM_SIZE;
rbBand.fStyle = RBBS_CHILDEDGE | RBBS_NOGRIPPER;
rbBand.hwndChild = hwndImg;
rbBand.cxMinChild = 0;
rbBand.cyMinChild = 20;
rbBand.cx = 20;
// Insert the img into the rebar
SendMessage(wRebar, RB_INSERTBAND, (WPARAM)-1, (LPARAM)&rbBand);
// Insert a blank band
rbBand.cbSize = sizeof(REBARBANDINFO);
rbBand.fMask = RBBIM_STYLE | RBBIM_SIZE;
rbBand.fStyle = RBBS_CHILDEDGE | RBBS_HIDETITLE | RBBS_NOGRIPPER;
rbBand.cx = 1;
// Insert the blank band into the rebar
SendMessage(wRebar, RB_INSERTBAND, (WPARAM)-1, (LPARAM)&rbBand);
}
// Window Procedure
LRESULT CALLBACK MainWindow::wProcedure(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
switch (uMsg) {
case WM_CREATE:
{
addControls(hwnd);
break;
}
case WM_ACTIVATE:
DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea(hwnd, &(m.realNonclientInsets)); // <-- a RECT that holds the metrics of the non-client area
break;
case WM_NCCALCSIZE:
if (wParam != (WPARAM)FALSE) {
NCCALCSIZE_PARAMS *op = (NCCALCSIZE_PARAMS *)lParam;
NCCALCSIZE_PARAMS np;
if (!defWindowProcFirst)
return 0;
np = *op;
DefWindowProcW(hwnd, uMsg, wParam, (LPARAM)(&np));
op->rgrc[0].left = np.rgrc[0].left;
op->rgrc[0].right = np.rgrc[0].right;
op->rgrc[0].bottom = np.rgrc[0].bottom;
return 0;
}
break;
// ...
}
Is there any way to force the rebar into it's normal position while also having the window frame extended?
