a few form questions !

[Du Dang]

1. how do i know my form is on top (when topmost == disabled) ?
scenario: user clicked on the notify icon (if form is on top) -> minimize
the form, (if form is not on top) -> bring it to front, else show the
invisible form

2. how do i determine the size of windows resolution ?
i wanna save the form position when exit, and restore the proggy location
when reopen.
manually center the form as a default when no location is found <- this
where teh res come in

3. how do i communicate between forms??
i wanna past a fews var from one form to another, what is the best practise
for this kinna thing

thanks you so much,

Du

this.BringToFront()

this.StartPosition = StartPosition.CenterScreen;

store a reference to the other form in a member variable.
Or in case of Mdi Windows: Use the Parent Property to communicate via the
ParentForm.
