C# windows form container menu over child form

I have created a calculator application in C# as an exercise. In this application I have a container with a child form. In the container I have a menu, and when I add a child to the container MDI, I resize the container to fit the child.

My problem is that the menu hide some part of the child - the display of the calculator - and I can't see the numbers.

Example:

Container's menu hiding the top of the calculator display: Container's menu hiding the top of the calculator display

After manually resizing the application - i can see the top of the display: After manually resizing the application - i can see the top of the display

How can I set that the first position available in the container's MDI to put childs is - is under the menu ?

Make sure you Anchor properties are set properly for each control - they are the key to be able to resize a form and have things act as you want.

To start with you don´t need any MDI to have that simple interface. Use a single form, and user UserControl´s for everything else.

UPDATE

Create one UserControl for each of the calculators the assign each type to the menu item click, e.g.: remove or hide the controls.
