My current problem is that it fails to account for scrollbars, even when
scrollbars are explicitly specified.

RECT NewWindowSize;
if (!AdjustWindowRect(&NewWindowSize,
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW |
WS_HSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL, TRUE))
AfxMessageBox("AdjustWindowRect() Did Not Work!");

"The AdjustWindowRect function does not take the WS_VSCROLL or WS_HSCROLL
styles into account. To account for the scroll bars, call the
GetSystemMetrics function with SM_CXVSCROLL or SM_CYHSCROLL"
