You could try something like this, don't know if this actually works or not, didn't try it, but it can be a starting point for you, good luck:

CDC ScreenDC;
ScreenDC.Attach(::GetDC(NULL));

CBitmap Capture;
CSize Dimensions(GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN), GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN));
Capture.CreateCompatibleBitmap(&ScreenDC, Dimensions.cx, Dimensions.cy);

CDC MemDC;
MemDC.CreateCompatibleDC(&ScreenDC);

CBitmap *OldBitmap = MemDC.SelectObject(&Capture);

MemDC.BitBlt(0, 0, Dimensions.cx, Dimensions.cy, &ScreenDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);

MemDC.SelectObject(OldBitmap);
MemDC.DeleteDC();

::ReleaseDC(NULL, ScreenDC.Detach());
//At this point the bitmap 'Capture' should contain an image of the desktop
