How about writing a function in the main form and using it from the toolbar
to pass any keys 'intercepted' by the toolbar?

void __fastcall TMainForm::InterceptedKeys( char &Key)
{
     // route 'Key' to whatever normally handles key strokes...

}


void __fastcall TTlBar::FormKeyPress(TObject *Sender, char &Key)
{
	MainForm->InterceptedKeys( char &Key);
}


Laters,
