Yes. Use the 'Image' property of the button.

Make a button;

Use its Image property;

And finally import an image, and click OK.

You can also use the "BackgroundImage" property for the button instead. You then have a choice to change the layout ("BackgroundImageLayout" property) for the background image ("StretchImage" works fine).

You might want to give this a read, if you prefer changing the image from code:

or this,

Good Luck,

You should be able to do something along the lines of 'button1.image = some_image'. I dunno the specifics, but that's the idea. Check z_cross_fire's links.
