Win App | Tabbing into and away from datagrid

Hi,

I have a requirement to build a mouse free windows application and have to
hence rely heavily on the tabbing indices. However, I'm facing some issues
when the tab goes to a datagrid. It shows very random behavior when the focus
is on the last cell. It sometimes skips the next control to give focus to the
one after that, and sometimes even skips 2 controls. Also, when you try and
navigate back with shift+tab, it again skips quite a few controls.

Heads up:
I tried capturing the Tab key press in the processCmdKey method, but that
does not work as expected

Queries:
Has anyone ever faced similar problems? If yes, then what would be the
resolution?
For a read only datagrid, how can I prevent the tab key from navigating the
focus through each cell in the grid? I have currently defined a shortcut that
takes the control to the next active control but was wondering if there's a
straight way to do this.

All pointers are gladly appreciated
Thanks in anticipation
Nick
