Hi Lal,

OK, so all you really need to do is store the list of form object references somewhere, like in a array, perhaps.

Then when the user attempts to open a form, iterate through all of the current opened forms vis the form object reference list. For each form, check to see if it is minimized (via the form WindowState property, ie: if form.WindowState = 1). If so, check the current control(s), if empty, restore the form to default state (form.WindowState = 0).
