private void ListObject_Creator()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ListObject list1 = 
        this.Controls.AddListObject(
        this.Range["A1", "C4"], "list1");
    if (list1.Creator == Excel.XlCreator.xlCreatorCode)
    {
        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
        MessageBox.Show( _
            "This list object was created in Microsoft Office Excel.")
    End If

End Sub

Remarks

If the object was created in Microsoft Office Excel, this property returns the string XCEL, which is equivalent to the hexadecimal number 5843454C.
