Hi molly,

Sorry for letting you wait for so long.

I have doing some research into your project and reproduced out your issue.

If you view Form.MdiChildActivate Event in MSDN, you will see that:
This event "Occurs when a multiple document interface (MDI) child form is
activated or closed within an MDI application."

But in your project, it seems that you use Form.Visible=false to invoke
container's MdiChildActivate event. Based on the MSDN document above, this
behavior is not mentioned, I think this is a undocumented behavior.
Although, it works most of the time in Form.Visible=false, this behavior is
not guaranteed.

Actually, for your request, I think a more suggested design is swiching the
child form visibility in Button click event, not in MdiChildActivate event.
Also, I think this is not a hard task.

Hope this reply makes sense to you. If you have any questions or concerns,
please feel free to post it in the group. I am standing by to be of
assistance.

Best regards,
