            {
                btnaddProduct.SendToBack();
                btnpurchaseDetails.SendToBack();
                btnRegister.SendToBack();

Hi Bineesh,

Create MdiChildActivate event in ur mdi form and write below code to show ur buttons:

private void mdi_MdiChildActivate(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form f = this.ActiveMdiChild;
if (f==null)
{
button1.BringToFront();
button2.BringToFront();
button3.BringToFront();
}
}

Have you tried calling the BringToFront() method for each of the three MDI children?
