MDI trouble

[frank]

Hi,
I'm trying my first MDI winforms app in C#, and though I think I've set the
correct properties, my parent form background is transparent, effectively
showing both parent and child form controls simultaneously.
Am I missing something obvous?

-parent and child Opacity property is 100%
-parent isMdiContainer property set to true
-child isMdiContainer property set to false
-child's MdiParent property set

thanks for any suggestions
Frank

Do you mean that the controls of the parent form are shown in front of
the MDI child?
