A TBitButton owns a window handle and only controls with an own window handle can be placed in front of it. You could place your bitmap on a TPanel (TPanel inherits from TWinControl and has a window handle), and this panel you can bring in front of any other control. Set the BorderStyle of the panel to bsNone, so it only works as a container and is not visible.

P.S. If your bitmap is as simple as the one in your example, you could directly write onto the panel and set the colors accordingly.

A TImage cannot be brought in front of a TBitButton since a BitButton is a windowed control (TWinControl). Instead of a TBitBtn or a TButton, you can use a control which does not descend from TWinControl, like a TSpeedButton.

The top-right corner of a button is at (Button.Left + Button.Width, Button.Top).
