Prevent Ctrl+Tab in MDI App

I have an MDI based application in which I would like to totally control
the switching between child windows (which will all be maximised).

I would therefore like to disable the switching between child windows through
the use of Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

Note that these Child windows may (or may not) have tabbed interfaces present
on them, so I need the child windows to be able to deal with this situation.

Any help welcomed

The solution I have found is to ensure that all screens which are not currently
being shown are hidden.
Yeah I know that's way too simple and obvious, but it makes sense.
If the screen is hidden, it's simply not in the Ctrl+Tab sequence....
....and if there's only one screen in the sequence, then you don't switch
between them :)
