Question about opening a window inside a window

Hey everyone,
I have a main.vb that is a MDIParent. I'm trying to find the easiest way to open a child and not have it hide behind my menu bar on the left side.

First off, I'm using the MDIParent because I like how when the child is maximized it shows the childs title in the parent title bar. The only thing i don't like is, there is no menu bar on the left side. I'm most likely calling the "menu bar" on the left, the wrong name.

I have a ListView called ListView1 (very original, i know!!!). Inside the list view I have quite a few ListViewItems that are categorized. I want to make the ListViewItems clickable to open "child" windows. I just don't want the "child" forms to be slightly hidden by my ListView1 that i docked to the centerleft side of the window.

Any suggestions?

Also, how would i code the clicking of a ListViewItem to open certain windows?

THanks,
