I've done this by doing this in the grid Scrolled event like this

this.parent.cmdhidden.setfocus

where cmdhidden is behind the grid, so you can scroll the grid, but it loses focus immediately...works for this particular situation...if you have a visible object you'd like to keep the focus on, that's even better...
