Resizing Window Calculations

I would like to resize a window (form) to be slightly larger than the
area used by controls inside. I know how much padding I want, but how
can I find the size of the window items like the border and the bar at
the top (place where the form name is, buttons to maximize/minimize,
etc)?

Thanks in advance.

Subtract the dimensions of the form's ClientRectangle from those of the form
(from its Size property) .
