Start off with

var forms = Application.OpenForms.Cast<Form>().ToList();

Which to get details say in a ListBox create a class for displaying forms as a List<FormItem>

public class FormItem
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Name of form
    /// </summary>
    public string DisplayName { get; set; }
    /// <summary>
    /// Actual form instance
    /// </summary>
    public Form Form { get; set; }

    public override string ToString() => DisplayName;

}

Assign the DataSource of a ListBox using

List<FormItem> formNames = Application
    .OpenForms
    .Cast<Form>()
    .Select(form => new FormItem
    {
        DisplayName = form.Name, 
        Form = form
    }).ToList();

For selection changed of the ListBox cast selected item to FormItem.

Then something like this (hard coded)

formNames.FirstOrDefault().Form.Activate();
