Hi Nila,

You can do it with 'SizeChanged' event of form.

        private void Form1_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
            {
                timer1.Enabled = false;
            }
            else
            {
                timer1.Enabled = true;
            };
        }

Check my code. It shows you the exact solution.

You will be having resized event for the form and you can check for FormWindowState.Minimized or Maximized property for the state of the form and you can enable and disable the timer by setting .Enable property to true or false...
