Two choices:

Use an image control. Set its picture to the icon, and write a click
event handler. It won't give feedback (i.e. look depressed) unless you
program that in as well.

Use a command button. Set the Style to Graphical, delete the caption,
and set its picture property to the icon. Use as any other button. It
will still have the raised border, and look depressed when it is
clicked.
