The application is hidden and at times it must show a form that should appear
at the top of all other windows and its text box should have the focus no
matter where the focus was prior to the window becoming visible. Once the
text has been entered, the form should become invisible again. What's the
best way to do this?

Form.TopMost property
Form.Show() method
TextBox.Focus() method
Form.Hide() method
