Hello ShraddhaB,
You cannot open a form on top of another elements, if this is what you're looking for. I would recommend one of the following:
1. On button click, the user is transfered (navigates) to another screen which contains the form. When the user submits or cancels the form, he/she is transferred back.
2. If the first screen has enough room then you can keep the form hidden by default and un-hide it on button click. In this case, no navigation is required but you will have to consider the mobile screen size if any of your users will be running the app on their phones.
Hope this helps.
Can you help me with second way? how to achieve it ?
thank you for your help within this thread @dinusc - could you review the latest question from @Anonymous and advise?

@Anonymous,
The second way being to unhide a form on button click. Set a variables value to true on the buttons OnClick() property:
Set(MyVar, true)
Then set the Visible() property of your form to "MyVar". You can then hide on form submission, by doing the same thing on form submit button, but set the variable to false.
You can use a variable to only make the Form visible when applicable and then only allow them to submit the Form off that same variable.
Let me know if you need me to be more specific.
Dear Shraddha Batwalkar it is possible to open form in button click in the same screen for that first you have to add button in in your screen and write the formula for on select event in the formula bar
UpdateContext({varform:!varform});NewForm(Form1)
use this update context variable and you have to take new form select form screen and on visible event you have to declare variable name should be
varform it will populate the form when you click on button if i answered your question give me thumbnail it will help others
Thanks,
Harsha Bhupathi.
