Loading another form on top

Is it possible to load another form on top of one form. User should not be able to interact with first form. If user minimize the first form the stacked form should also minimized. Is this doable?

For example, User loads Form A, click some controls and Form B appears. now until Form B is closed, user should not be able to do anything in form A.

Keep the base form or the first form as MDI Parent and all other forms as it's child...so you will have full contorl over the child forms like moving, closing, minimizing. It will fullfill your requirements.

This sounds like you need to show FormB using ShowDialog with FormA as parent.

FormB formb = new FormB();
formb.ShowDialog(this);//Where this is FormA
