Andrus,

You say you overrode the OnKeyPress, but then you showed code for the ProcessCmdKey ... are you saying that you tried that instead? And did it work?

It should work, but you don't show your "custom processing". Here's what I did that works. This code belongs in the MdiParent, not the MdiChild:

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
  switch (keyData)
  {
	  case Keys.Control | Keys.F1:
	  case Keys.Control | Keys.Tab:
		  for (int i = 0; i < this.MdiChildren.Length; i++)
		{
			if (this.MdiChildren[i].Equals(this.ActiveMdiChild))
			{
				i++;
				if (i == this.MdiChildren.Length)
					i = 0;
				this.ActivateMdiChild(this.MdiChildren[i]);
				this.ActiveMdiChild.Activate();
				break;
			}
		}
	  return true;
  }
  return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
}
