Image in clipboard

[TwoFace]

How is it possible to inserting an image to the clipboard.
There is no clipboard.setimage og so...

[fallnwrld]

if you can simulate the "Print Screen" key, that automatically puts a image of the screen in the clipboard, sort of like a screen capture.

Thanks, but how do I use this code?

CopyEntirePictureToClipboard (Picture1.Picture) does not work!
