c# MDI Parent check child forms opened

Question

I'm making a MDI windows forms app and I have a panel inside the parent. Everytime I open one child I set the parent's panel visible=false with the event: MdiChildActivate. But when I close all the childs I would like to set the parent's panel to visible=true.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks a lot, maybe is a noob question, but I don't find anything.

Why not just subscribe to the Mdi child's Closed event and then check if there are any remaining children?

void CreateMdiForm()
{
    var child = new SomeMdiChildForm();
    // do stuff
    child.FormClosed += child_Closed;
}

void child_Closed( object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e )
{
    if( MdiChildren.Length == 0 )
    {
        SetPanelVisible();
    }
}
