I want that child form (B) appear top of only its parent from (A)., so that i could select any other form (C) with out closing the child form (B) and also it shouldn't appear infront of from (C). and agin when im select the form (A) then the child of should appear as the dialogue window to that from (A0

Ok i got it.
You can do the following steps.

1. Use only show() instead of ShowDialogue();. But problem here it will not work as child form,it works as an independent form .
2. So maintain it by like this, on form Activated event activate child form form its object.
3. You have to also maintain only single instance of the child form. You can maintain this by like Singleton design pattern.
