How to get StdPicture object from PrintWindow API

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I need to be able to copy the screen image of a window which may be
partly or completely obscured. The PrintWindow API seems to do the
trick here. However I also need to be able to get that image as a
StdPicture object. The aforementioned API simply copies the window's
image (not just the screen contents at the windows coordinates) into a
provided device context. So how can I get that device context to
place its image in a StdPicture object?

Can anyone suggest how this might be done?

Thanks
Steve
