GeneralTransparency within MDI application Pin

I am having a problem building a menu bar. My mdi parent loads a child form anchored to the left and top within the form load. This is to be my menu bar. Originally the client wanted the buttons on the menu bar (total of 6 buttons) to produce a submenu under the last button in the menu. The submenu would of course have options for whatever main menu button was clicked.

Now the client (now being several stages into development) would like the submenu (6 seperate panel controls populated with link controls) to appear to the right of the main menu item that was clicked.

Not a problem I thought... I had to extend the width of the menu bar to accomodate the width of the submenu and move them around a bit.

BUT now if there are other child windows open when the submenu appears, they are covered by the background of the main menu.

I tried making the bg of the mainmenu transparent, but then the desktop, not the MDI parent bg is visible.

So I created a transparent .gif, made that the backgroundimage for the mainmenu and got the same result as above.

Do I have to repaint the MDI Parent BG?

Has anyone ran into something similar?

All I want is the submenu to appear without the BG accompanying it.

Sorry for the long post, but it is about as best as I can explain it.
