Controls in container form come over child form?

Question

In a container form I have menu and buttons to open ther forms.

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

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.

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;
       }
   }
