The button press of the Print Screen button sent to the OS would move an image of the desktop to the clipboard. I am just not sure how to do that.

At least its a start . . .

An example program can be found here that contains a VI that simulates keyboard input. You can use it and choose "Snapshot" as your button input and "Down and up" as your action input to add a screenshot to your clipboard. From there you can do what you'd like with it!
