 this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;

into the timer tick event.

but actually its not working. Suggest me some code snippet for the same.

Could you show the code on how you implemented the Timer. Is the Timer started?

I have enabled the timer using enable property

Following the code that i have used.

    private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        if (FormWindowState.Maximized == this.WindowState)
        {
            f.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;


                timer1.Stop();

        }

    }

 private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            f = new Form2();
            timer1.Enabled = true;
            timer1.Start();

        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            if (FormWindowState.Maximized == this.WindowState)
            {
                f.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;


                    timer1.Stop();

            }

        }

I assume you initialized the Timer somewhere else.
While in the form Load event of Form2, you create a new Form2? Seems a bit strange to me.

Ok i got it... Thanxxx for the help...

Agree with ddanbe, you're going to get yourself into a neverending loop there.

this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized should work. What kind of timer are you using? Are you sure that the tick event is fired?
