Taken from Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 171733:

PRB: FlexGrid Control Doesn't Trap Arrow Keys
This article applies to…
This article was previously published under Q171733
SYMPTOMS
The KeyUp and KeyDown events of the Flexgrid control do not trap the Arrow keys. This affects the arrow keys on the numeric keypad as well as the "stand-alone" arrow keys.
CAUSE
The Flexgrid control responds to the arrow keys to change the selection, therefore they are not passed to the key events.
RESOLUTION
There are no workarounds at this time.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.

You might want to consider RowColChange, LeaveCell, or/and SelChange events to control navigation.

Why not just swap the MSFlexGrid out for the MSHFlexGrid?
(However, if you use the DataSource property, then you will need to use ADO with it)

For me this is mandatory thing anyway. MSFlexGrid suffering from it's "hell dll". MSHFlexGrid is clean.
