This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with. And what you have given us is not clear: what are you trying to get the new window to do, and what is the problem with doing that?

In addition to studying Richard's solution, also examine the ability to set the 'Owner property of a Form to another Form; this will guarantee that the "owned" Form always stays above the "owner" Form.

Setting a Form's 'Topmost property will keep that Form on top of all other app windows, even if another Form is shown modally (using ShowDialog with no owner window handle as a parameter).

But, using MessageBox,Show will appear in front of a 'Topmost window.

i have almost never found a use for making a Form 'Topmost.

I am not sure I understand the question, but maybe you are asking about: Form.TopMost Property (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Docs[^]
