Minimize number of forms

Question

Hi :) I have a software which contain several forms that are open at the same time. And i have caple of problems with it: 1) How can i do that all the forms will minimize when i minimize the main form ? 2) I have some forms that supose to be at the top of the screen all the time (form.topmost) but the problem is when i go to another program (while my software is open) those forms are still at the top of the screen i dont want them to be at the top when my software lost focus how can i do it ? (i tryed to make all the forms.topmost=false when my main forum lost his focus but its not working :/) Thanks.

List Form > forms = new List Form >( ); List Form > topForms = new List Form >( ); bool oneIsActive = true ; for ( int a = 0; a { forms.Add( new Form ( ) ); } topForms.Add( forms [ 0 ] ); topForms.Add( forms [ 2 ] ); for ( int a = 0; a { Form form = forms [ a ]; form.Text = string .Concat( Form #  a  - TopMost =   topForms.Contains( form ) ); form.Activated += delegate { if ( ! oneIsActive ) { oneIsActive = true ; for ( int i = 0; i { topForms [ i ].TopMost = true ; } } }; Timer timer = new Timer ( ); timer.Interval = 300; timer.Tick += delegate { timer.Enabled = false ; if ( ! oneIsActive ) { for ( int i = 0; i { topForms [ i ].TopMost = false ; } } }; form.Deactivate += delegate { timer.Enabled = true ; }; form.Show( this ); // giving Form as parameter effects that shown Form will be minimized when parameter-Form is minimized form.Left = 100 + a * 350; }
