Custom button on control bar

I have a custom contorl bar button and it is connected to an addin. When my addin is first loaded the button is first displayed in the middle of the screen. I then need to drag it to the control bar.

Is there any way I can code it so that it goes straight to the control bar and not in the middle

Note: I have also asked this question at http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php t=51966

Thank you

    This is what i have. It is in its own sub that i made:

    Private Sub AddButton(objectCommand As CommandBar, buttonName As String, _
    actionName As String, iconPicture As IPictureDisp, bBeginGroup As Boolean)

    Dim objectCommandButton As CommandBarButton

    Set objectCommandButton = objectCommand.controls.Add(msoControlButton)


    With objectCommandButton
    .Caption = buttonName
    .OnAction = actionName
    .BeginGroup = bBeginGroup
    .Style = msoButtonCaption
    .Picture = iconPicture
    End With
    End Sub

    per our support engineer:

    Please try the code below:

    Dim oCommandButton As CommandBarButton

    Set oCommandButton = oCommand.Controls.Add(msoControlButton)

    oCommandButton.Style = msoButtonCaption

    Then the button can be added in the controls.
