+// Method Description:
+// - Handles a WM_GETMINMAXINFO message, issued before the window sizing starts.
+//   This message allows to modify the minimal and maximal dimensions of the window.
+//   We focus on minimal dimensions here
+//   (the maximal dimension will be calculate upon maximizing)
+//   Our goal is to protect against to downsizing to less than minimal allowed dimensions,
+//   that might occur in the scenarios where _OnSizing is bypassed.
+//   An example of such scenario is anchoring the window to the top/bottom screen border
+//   in order to maximize window height (GH# 8026).
+//   The computation is similar to what we do in _OnSizing:
+//   we need to consider both the client area and non-client exclusive area sizes,
+//   while taking DPI into account as well.
+// Arguments:
+// - lParam: Pointer to the requested MINMAXINFO struct,
+//   a ptMinTrackSize field of which we want to update with the computed dimensions.
+//   It also acts as the return value (it's a ref parameter).
