no. i just want , if user have opened some other windows, when message came then chat Window will show on the top of the other windows that user can see the new message is come.... now if i send a msg.. and receiver doing something else... receiver don't know about the message till by chance he/she minimize all the other windows...

Mouse/Keyboard not working? All computers? You cannot be serious. Just think about it.

Mouse/Keyboard not working means... just like MsgBox.show in WinForm.. it displays whatever we r doing but it display on front... something like that i am saying

You cannot give me an example where it's not working. They work all the time. Trying to limit it would be a huge abuse. You need to think about your design, not those illegalities... :-)

oooppsss... my mistake i can't explain you what i want actually.... :( :(

Thank sorry that I could not understand it. Maybe this is a problem. I can guess, that you need some feedback to the users: when someone is typing, typing by others should be prevented. But then do exactly this.

Please see my comments to the question. You could simply disable text input and "Send" controls for some clients and enable for those who are allowed to type the messages. All controls have Enabled or IsEnabled properties.

However, even that looks like a severe limitation to the users (forget about disabling keyboard/mouse). Imagine how would you personally feel. Did you work with existing well-known instance messaging application? Don't you think they are already better then what you want? I strongly advice to review your design and abandon this idea.

Solution 2

This is typcially done by showing a small notification window, typically in the bottom right corner of the primary screen, and playing a small sound.
