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.

What do you mean come over child form, exactly?

Fist thing you should understand: the child-parent relationships between form is done effective defunct, you should not use it.
I don't mean MDIParent/MDIChild relationships -- they work. But -- listen for a good friendly advice, never ever use MDI -- by different and very serious reasons.
Now, what you show is possible. I would ask you to show your code but I don't really want to see it -- rather, you should review your design and come up with something reasonable.
We can discuss it if you provide relevant information on what you want to achieve.

How do you bring MDI child windows to the front if MDI parent has controls?

Do yourself a great favour -- forget about MDI. Do you really need explanation why?

Winforms NEVER does this. I think your graphics card driver is out of date.

No. Windows never does this. The parent form, is distinct from the child form. Unless you made the child form transparent. I think it's possible to do that in the settings. But you ask for help and post no code, so I am guessing.
