Hi, I just have an application that show many forms at the same time so in order to keep the users concentrated on the main form, I want to change the other forms to be grayscale temporarily and change them back later.
Anyone has got idea how to do this
Is it possible to change a colored form to grayscale temporarily?

Place a panel and change the Dock property to Fill.
On the forms Activated event you add
panel1.Enabled = true;
In the Deactivate event you add
panel1.Enabled = false;
This will gray out all controls in panel1 (that contains all controls of the form) whenever it loses focus and enable them as soon as it gets focus.
