Solution 1

Please add WS_THICKFRAME in your window style of the FrameWnd.

C#

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
    int style = cs.style;

    // Add WS_THICKFRAME to create re sizable border.
    style -= WS_THICKFRAME;
    cs.style = style;

    if( !CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
....
}
