        MessageBox.Show("This list object was created in Microsoft Office Excel.");
    }
}

Private Sub ListObject_Creator()
    Dim List1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ListObject = _
        Me.Controls.AddListObject(Me.Range("A1", "C4"), "List1")
    If List1.Creator = Excel.XlCreator.xlCreatorCode Then

            "This list object was created in Microsoft Office Excel.")
    End If
