You are talking about the classic MDI interface. You main-window will be a form that has the MDIContainer property set to true. Then when you want to open other child forms within this main-one, then create that form, set it's MDIParent property to the mainform and then Show() it.

but i want when i open the child form none can edit the parent form...........

in other way i just want frim the user to deal with child frame and cann't return to the parent frame until he close the child frame

I think you need to use the .showdialog command instead of .show

but when i use mdi i can't use showdialog
