How to detect coordinates of Ribbon bar in Win32 API

Question

I'm making an application in Win32 API that uses the modern Ribbon style UI. I've successfully tested an SampleRibbon program. The only problem I'm having is that, How to detect the X and Y coordinates of the Ribbon bar? When I draw a control at (0,0) it gets hidden behind the Ribbon bar. But I don't want it to be hidden behind the bar. Is there any function to get the coordinates of the Ribbon bar so that I can draw the control automatically below the Ribbon.

The function you're looking for is IUIRibbon::GetHeight.
