Creating and adding a new "Custom Button" to object's layout via API

Hello,

 

I am currently bulding an integration application which allows Salesforece object to sync data with a SharePoint list.

We need a way to create and add a custom button to object's layout through dynamically.

 

Is it possible to create and add a custom button via API?

 

FYI, the custom button will execute the following Javascript

 

window.open('/apex/Redirect?control=workplan&object=MyApp__Project__c&id={!MyApp__Project__c.Id}', 'Work Planner', 'height = 600, width = 1000');

 

We need to add the button dynamically because the value for the control, object and title (Work Planner) parameters will be determined at the time user maps the object in Salesforce to a list in SharePoint from the UI provided by SharePoint.

 

Thanks a lot for looking into this.
