I don't think you can put a picture into the clipboard using AutoIt. However, _ScreenCapture_Capture puts the image into a file. You can simply create a picture object (GUICtrlCreatePic) referencing the same file to display it in another GUI.

You can put screen captures in the clipboard. Here's an example below, including a fun little way to throw an image on top of any GUI. (just for fun though, as it only lasts until the window redraws)

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#include <WinApi.au3>
#Include <Clipboard.au3>

$hCapture = _ScreenCapture_Capture("")  
_ClipBoard_SetData($hCapture, $CF_BITMAP)

Run ("Mspaint")
WinWaitActive("untitled - Paint")
Send("^v")

; Extra fun
_GDIPlus_Startup()

Run("Calc")
WinWaitActive("Calculator")
$hWnd = WinGetHandle("")
$pos = WinGetPos($hWnd)
$hDC = _WinAPI_GetDC($hWnd)
$hBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHBITMAP ($hCapture)
$hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHDC($hDC)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect($hGraphic,$hBitmap,0,0,@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight,0,0,$pos[2],$pos[3])

sleep(3000)

_WinAPI_RedrawWindow(_WinAPI_GetDesktopWindow(), 0, 0, $RDW_INVALIDATE+$RDW_ALLCHILDREN)
_WinAPI_ReleaseDC (0, $hDC)
_WinAPI_DeleteObject ($hCapture)
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose ($hBitmap)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic)
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()

Then it's easiest to just do what RodT suggested. Save it to file, then load it into a pic control.

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#include <GuiConstants.au3>


$strFile = "\pic.bmp"

_ScreenCapture_Capture(@TempDir & $strFile)

$hWnd = GUICreate("",350,300,-1,-1,$WS_SIZEBOX)
$hPic = GuiCtrlCreatePic(@TempDir & $strFile,0,0,0,0)
GUISetState()

Do
Until GuiGetMsg() = -3

If you don't want it to write to a tempfile... Read through This thread
