      Without a lot more detail I don't think anyone can guess what your code is doing.

        i have a mdicontainer on which there are some controls ...i also have a child form with some controls...when i run the app and open my mdicontainer and child form.....the controls of both overlap... I am able to move the child form freely but as soon as it reaches the mdicontainer form control both overlap..its like the child form becomes transparent and i can see the mdicontainer controls even though the child form is covering it

          you need to expand this alot more 1. Are we talking about controls drawn on the MDI Parent form? 2. Controls that are on a child form that isnt showing on the parent form properly? 3. dynamic drawn controls?

            child form is on top of mdicontainer hence controls of child form are supposed to be hidden child form is almost transparent and i can see the mdicontainer controls even though child form is supposed to cover the mdicontainer as it is placed on top of mdicontainer controls.... its so transparent that it appears as if mdicontainer controls and child form controls are overlapping

              From what I have read Is that the MDI Parent merges certain controls with child forms. The controls that can't be merged are always placed on top of all other controls including forms So if you need to display any controls while using and MDI approach you need to only place them on the child forms except toolbar menus as these will be merged with the forms at runtime.
