This code will copy the current form to the clipboard:
DECLARE INTEGER keybd_event IN Win32API ;
        INTEGER, INTEGER, INTEGER, INTEGER
*
* Do an Alt-Printscreen
*
#DEFINE VK_LMENU 164
#DEFINE VK_SNAPSHOT 44
#DEFINE KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY 1
#DEFINE KEYEVENTF_KEYUP 2
DOEVENTS
keybd_event( VK_LMENU,    0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY, 0 )  && key down
INKEY(0.01)
keybd_event( VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY, 0 )
INKEY(0.01)
keybd_event( VK_SNAPSHOT, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY + KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0 )
INKEY(0.01)
keybd_event( VK_LMENU,    0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY + KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0 )
DOEVENTS
