Form1 is opened as a modal window with a button in it. If i click on the button form1 is hidden and and form2 is opened as modal window. But when the form2 opens, my application looses focus and the form2 appears above the window that I visited last.(eg. my application is running. I open a word document. Then when i click on button in Form1, form2 appears above the word document instead of my own application).

Once i come back to my application and then click on the button in form1(which obviously means that my application is in focus now), my application looses focus and goes back to the application that i last visited.

public DialogResult DisplayDialog()

{

return this.ShowDialog(this.Parent);

}

On click of button in form1, form1 is hidden and then form2 is displayed. On button Click this is done:

Forgot to mention that my application has got a main window. Form1 is opened from the main window. So when form2 is opened, it is supposed come over this main window. But my problem is that form2 opens over the window that i last visited.

Ok, the main form indeed looses focus, but why would you want to hide a modal dialog?
