In a container form I have menu and buttons to open ther forms. enter image description here

Here I am facing a problem when I open any form these buttns and lables come over newly opened form. enter image description here

Please guide me how I can manage this issue? I want to open a new form and keep these container form's controls in back ground of it.


Solution

  • I've also got the same problem. I got an alternative solution as described below:

    1. Insert a timer control
    2. I've added the controls in a panel container
    3. And did the following

      private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          if ((int)MdiChildren.GetLength(0) > 0)
          {
              panel1.Visible = false;
          }
          else
          {
              panel1.Visible = true;
          }
      }
