Problem is that using the left/right arrow keys normally moves the Focus. Could you try setting a shortcut to an action when you enter the bitmap. ie Action1.ShortCut := ShortCut(VK_Right,[]). When you exit the button you can remove the shortcut so that the right key works as normal? Just some ideas - don't know how viable they are.
