Description
The standard grid's implementation does not allow properly focusing it when the grid is placed onto a form that is not a TForm descendant:

function TCustomGrid.IsActiveControl: Boolean;
...
Result := (ParentForm.ActiveControl = Self) and
      ((ParentForm = Screen.ActiveForm) or (ParentForm is TCustomActiveForm) or (ParentForm is TCustomDockForm))

Expected behavior: DBGrid should allow editing data
Actual behavior:  DBGrid does not allow editing data

In our test sample, while DBGrid is placed on the main form you can edit its data. However, when you press the "Test" button, we change Grid's parent. Then, it is impossible to edit data.
