You could try to _SendMessage with this notification.

@Nine, i don't know if it work with an external GUI
this is the code that i tried
i hope  if it work with me
because my program is spicielly to the arabs users for that the arabic must be in the keybord
 

$text = "text to paste"
$OldText = ClipGet()
WinActivate($h_CRNTWND, ""); the handle of the Active Window
do
Until WinActive($h_CRNTWND)
clipPut($text)
BlockInput(1)
Send("{CTRLDOWN}")
sleep(20)
Send("v")
sleep(20)
Send("{CTRLUp}")
BlockInput(0)
ClipPut($OldText)

Well the only way to know for sure is to test it, right ?

Use the control handle of the input box you want to paste it to.

hello sir, the problem i can't know the plase where the user paste, i tried controle set text, but the problem the user can paste the text into web edit or an GUI or java application,

what am trying to make is an multi clipBoard i meen an clipboard history store

for that i can't know the place where the user will paste it

i tried the sendMessage with the handle of the window but it didn't work

I see...Sorry, I don't know.  But I am pretty sure there is a way to paste text with arabic keyboard, no ?

Anyway, one last solution I can think of is to use 

Local $hWnd = _WinAPI_WindowFromPoint ($tPoint)

to get the handle of a static input box.  I tested and it works. Use preferably mouse position.  Caret position may not work properly.

but if the keyboard in arabic and i pressed control+v manualy it work with out problem

[nacerbaaziz 15]

hello again
please community there are no function can press the keys with not send command
because i think the problem is with send function
when i try to paste the text with ctrl+v manualy all thing work fine even if the keyboard is arabic or english or franch
i couldn't find any solution to that
i finished my tool this problem only if it corrected i'll share the tool to othersbut if the keyboard in arabic and i pressed control+v manualy it work with out problem

Send is not the problem.  I have a french keyboard, I am using send function all the time without a single issue. It is probably the window ($h_CRNTWND) that should receive the paste that is causing the problem.  When I run your code, it works perfect.  If you want us to help you, you must provide a runable script that replicates the dysfonction of the Send.  Otherwise, I don't think anyone here can help you out. 

[nacerbaaziz 15]

this code e.g

when i run it and the keyboard in english or franch all things work fine

but in arabic no

it write the l V

but when i press ctrl+v manualy it paste the text

here is the code

global $text = "some text"
hotkeySet("^{f2}", "pasteText")
hotkeySet("{esc}", "Kill")
While 1
sleep(100)
Wend
func pasteText()
local $crntClip = ClipGet()
ClipPut($text)
Send("^v")
clipPut($crntClip)
return 0
endFunc
func kill()
exit
endFunc

No solution, just some links I found. These may or may not help you 🤔. Unfortunately your problem is hard to analyze without a script, as @Nine already wrote :
