You do not say which version of C# or .NET you are using. Also, you do not say if you are using WPF or not.

In .NET Framework 2.0 and later, in the System.Windows.Forms namespace, there is the OpenForms property which returns a FormsCollection.

You can also use Application.OpenForms. For example:

C#

foreach (Form form in Application.OpenForms)
{
    //do something with the forms
}

Solution 2

Application.OpenForms will give you all forms currently open, regardless of their visible or enabled state.
