You can send CTRL_C_EVENT to a process group. But it requires the group leader
to manually enable Ctrl+C handling. Initially it's disabled when creating a
process with CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP.
The attached script demonstrates sending CTRL_C_EVENT to a process group. The
child process is the group leader, so CTRL+C event processing has to be
manually enabled in it by calling SetConsoleCtrlHandler(NULL, FALSE). This flag
gets inherited by the grandchild process. Example output:
Process 0300: created process 0464
Process 0464: created process 0456
Process 0464: received CTRL+C
Process 0456: received CTRL+C
That said, given that MSDN [erroneously] claims that this isn't possible,
probably the subprocess docs should only mention sending CTRL_BREAK_EVENT.
