Hi Thomas,
This is a bug in Winforms. You will need to visible off when there is a child form being displayed and turn visible back on when the last child window is closed.
>My main application is a Windows MDI form. Menu items cause various child forms to be displayed inside the parent form's window. If I add a control, such as a label, to the parent form, the child forms are displayed behind the control. In other words, the control blocks all or part of the child form. (Coming from a VFP background, this seem to be very odd behavior to me.)

>How can a get the child forms to display in front of the controls on the parent form?
