If your application changes the keyboard layout, you are going to annoy your users big time.

I would strongly suggest that you find another solution to your problem: if any app changed my layout without asking, it would be deleted with extreme prejudice, and I would take great pleasure in ensuring that the author found out about my displeasure in the most public way I could manage.

I advice you not to do it. You user knows better when to switch the keyboard layout or input language. Also, why do you thing the key is Alt+Shift? Different options are available to the user.

If you really want to do this ugly thing, I know the only one way: to use Windows API SendInput. It simulates keyboard or mouse input on low-level; see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646310(v=vs.85).aspx[^].

Don't do it.

As above, plus if the user needs an Arabic keyboard give them a virtual one, there are plenty of plug-in ones available[^].
