The OnClipBoardChange label seems to be able to distinguish only text and binary data. So how do I know if an image is copied in the clipboard or not?
Check if the clipboard contains a picture

The AutoHotkey Help installed with Autohotkey should be the first place to look in when we need help.
If you don't know how to get help you can use this.
If you don't know how to get help you can use this.
run % RegExReplace(A_AhkPath, ".exe", ".chm")
A label named OnClipboardChange (if it exists) is launched automatically whenever any application (even the script itself) has changed the contents of the clipboard. The label also runs once when the script first starts.
The built-in variable A_EventInfo contains:
0 if the clipboard is now empty;
1 if it contains something that can be expressed as text (this includes files copied from an Explorer window);
2 if it contains something entirely non-text such as a picture.
The following example is a working script. Whenever it is running, it will briefly display a ToolTip for each clipboard change.
#Persistent return OnClipboardChange: ToolTip Clipboard data type: %A_EventInfo% Sleep 1000 ToolTip ; Turn off the tip. return

Can you tell if it is exactly a picture and not other types of binary data?

You can, check up on IsClipboardFormatAvailable on MSDN.

Thanks fragman. You are a sort of lifesaver. It was really an annoying moment that a RTFM guy appeared without reading the question.
if DllCall("IsClipboardFormatAvailable", "Uint", 2) ;2:CF_BITMAP
msgbox it's bitmap
else
msgbox something else
