I got it to work, however it was a little bit tricky. One thing that can be really confusing is, that when the debugger is open, Keypress just works normal with Ctrl+c. So you think it is working good while in fact it is not, which you realize once you closed the debugger. And they say, the debugger is your friend, well in that case he is clearly not your friend.

Second problem: Grid with Allowcellselection=.F. does not trigger SetFocus(), and GotFocus() event does not exist. So I used When and Valid, both are working surprisingly consistent and reliable.

I did not want to use _SCREEN.ActiveForm, so I used my event handler, which works great. In the When event I initialize the eventhandler and the Ctrl+c raises the custom event, which gets redirected to the controls custom method:

LOCAL loEvents AS Events OF eventhandler.vcx
loEvents = MakeObject("Events","eventhandler.vcx")
loEvents.ListenTo("OnCtrl_c",THIS)

ON KEY LABEL Ctrl+c EXECSCRIPT([loEvents = MakeObject("Events","eventhandler.vcx")] ;
		+ CHR(13) + [loEvents.RaiseEvent("OnCtrl_c")])

RETURN .T.
