Then you should have put this question in the Windows Forms forum. Please put UI questions in the forum for the UI.

I also do not understand how the forms relate to each other and to the application. Will there be one and only one of each of the four forms for the application? If not then we need details explaining how many of each form will exist and such. We need more details such as that.
