To get the child window of MDI page in focus on pressing ALT TAB

I have MDI form which contains mutliple tabs and each tab has its own child form . When user presses ALT TAB from the from to other application its fine but when users presses ALT TAB back to my application it should keep focus on child form last time it was selected.
Any help would be appreciated

this.LostFocus +=
this.GotFocus +=

use
ChildForm.Activate()
to get focus

when childform gotfocus()
cache or log it
you can store it in a public value, or list

when MainForm gotfocus
look the public value or list to get last focus mdi child form

for example, if the child form is named form2
then
form2.Activate()
