Default Need Advice on finding CG

When you are measuring a wing to do CG calculations do you include the area of the flaps and ailerons or do you only measure the fixed area of the wing structure?

Everything you can see in a plan view, including area inside the fuselage on logical extensions of the leading and trailing edges and any area in nacelles as with a fuselage..
