There's no reference to such in the SDK, so my reaction is that there isn't a way to do it without going through a number of API calls to get a device context, do a bit block transfer, and build the necessary structures to create a bitmap. Can it be done in pure VFP? Yes, but not as easily as the snippet above.

I haven't tried this, but GetWindow() might be able to return a handle to the active form -if- the active form were a real window (I don't think it is) and on top, and seen by Windows as a child window of VFP, by something like:

Hi Ed,

Well, it'd be simpler to use the foxtools _WFindTitl() and _WhTohWnd() functions to retrieve the window handle, but then, how would you indicate that was the window to send to the clipboard? The bScan parameter? Hmm...might be worth a try. I'll post back later on this.
