Basically, you create a timer and call the function BringToFront on each form.

In C#:

static int counter = 1;

static void StartRotating()
{
    System.Windows.Forms.Timer myTimer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
    myTimer.Interval = 20000; // 20 seconds 
    myTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(TimerEventProcessor);
    myTimer.Start();
}

private static void TimerEventProcessor(Object myObject,
                                        EventArgs myEventArgs) {
    // you could use a switch statement also
    if(counter==1) form1.BringToFront();
    if(counter==2) form2.BringToFront();
    if(counter==3) form3.BringToFront();
    if(counter==4) { 
        form4.BringToFront(); 
        counter=0; //reset counter
        }
    counter++;
}

You need to keep an index to know which form is currently displayed and then in the timer elapsed event you can do this

            formtoshow.TopMost = true;
            formtoshow.BringToFront();

On a 20 second timer you can call 'BringToFront' on each form.
