Hi Fabio,
There is no solution without setfocus, since your properties are only available if the grid has focus. (ACTIVE* need to be active? ::) )
So you need to set focus to the grid, read your props and reset focus.
The biggest problem is to store and restore actual object. Since there are some traps I will give you an example.

LOCAL;
 loActiveControl

THISFORM.LOCKSCREEN = .T.
*Check if a Control is focused and if it could receive focus again
IF TYPE('THISFORM.ACTIVECONTROL')='O';
  AND !ISNULL(THISFORM.ACTIVECONTROL);
  AND PEMSTATUS(THISFORM.ACTIVECONTROL,'SETFOCUS',5) THEN
 loActiveControl = THISFORM.ACTIVECONTROL
ELSE &&TYPE('.ACTIVECONTROL' ...
 loActiveControl = NULL
ENDIF &&TYPE('.ACTIVECONTROL' ...

*YourGrid.SETFOCUS()
*Get your properties

*Re - Focus last Object
IF !ISNULL(loActiveControl) THEN
 loActiveControl.SETFOCUS()
ENDIF &&!ISNULL(loActiveControl)
THISFORM.LOCKSCREEN = .F.
