It’s not the excellence of our offering that makes our worship acceptable but the excellence of Christ. We cannot worship the eternal Father apart from the eternal Son… Our worship is accepted not on the basis of what we have done, but on the basis of what Christ has done… [Therefore] if we [leaders] help people focus on what God did two thousand years ago rather than twenty minutes ago, they’ll consistently find their hearts ravished by His amazing love.

I am looking for a way to capture a section of a window into the clipboard as a graphic.
I previously did this in the old 32-bit version of FB with this command:
Call DrawPicture(ClipBoardPictureHandle,GWorldRect)
 
How can I do the same thing with 64-bit Cocoa FB.



Have you thought about a plan to accomplish it Rich?  More complex goals are easier if broken down into their basic steps before tackling the programming bits.

For example, one of the steps would take a graphic image and put it on the clipboard. All clipboard action is done via the NSPasteboard class.
The following Objective-C code would accomplish this step ( but you would need to look up/translate into  the FB CocoaUI equivalent ).
    NSPasteboard *pasteboard = [NSPasteboard generalPasteboard];      [pasteboard clearContents];      NSArray *copiedObjects = [NSArray arrayWithObject:image];      BOOL copied = [pasteboard writeObjects:copiedObjects];      etc....
The other step would be to capture a portion of a window as a graphic image. That means we need to specify a rectangle to capture within in window.
One way to do this would be with CG's CGImageRef CGWindowListCreateImageFromArray
It takes an array ( of windows ) and a rectangle and returns a CGImageRef.
No time to write the code but with the above you should be able to write it yourself or at least get a prototype going.
