What excel control are you using? If you are simply changing the
content-type, it can't be done. If you are working with a live object
instance such as the Office Web Controls, add the tab thru the sheet's add
method. Buttons are not supported on the Excel surface. If you are using
interop and COM, the same procedure holds true.

Jaison,
I appologize for just guessing cause I don't have excel on the home
computer. I have done this so many times I'm going to try and help.

I would make an invisible button then dynamically set the visible property
to true.

Draw the button on the sheet
set the button visible property to false
dynamically make the button visible by setting the visible property to true.

Good Luck
DWS

Hello, I have a routine in my Windows application that exports the contents of a datagrid to Excel. It is modeled closely after the HowTo example on MSDN: http://tinyurl.com/5g2jm. Depending on the number of rows/columns in the datagrid, it can be extremely slow (several minutes to populate a 1000x50 spreadsheet). That is understandable, looking at the number of steps to copy over just one row.
