Accessing the controls on a Child form from the MDI parent

Hi all,

Is there a way for the MDI parent to reference controls on the active MDI
child form?

What I actually want to achieve is to know what control on the MDI child
currently has focus. Is there also a way to have an event on the MDI parent
that fires everytime the focus on a child form changes?

regards,

Mac
