How to make child form appear on top of mdi control

Question

When I open a child form the mdi controls remain on top of the child form. How can I make it so that the child form is on top of the mdi control.

Either I do not understand what you mean by mdi controls or you are not using MDI properly. You probably can get it to work using tricks such as what Mahesh suggests but you will likely end up spending more time trying to get it to work than if you chose another solution that satisfies the requirements more accurately.

Sam Hobbs · Answer

MDI is not designed for putting controls directly on the MDI parent window (form). So it is good that you are doing it a different way.

What I meant was how can I get the controls on the parent form/mdi container to not overlap the child form when displayed within the parent/mdi form. I found it better to just use a different method instead of attempting to change the parent form controls.
