/// The `Button` struct is used to create an Excel "Form Control" button object
/// to represent a button on a worksheet.
///
/// <img src="https://rustxlsxwriter.github.io/images/doc_button_intro.png">
///
/// The worksheet button object is mainly provided as a way to trigger a VBA
/// macro. See [Working with VBA macros](crate::macros) for more details. It is
/// used in conjunction with the
/// [`Worksheet::insert_button()`](crate::Worksheet::insert_button) method.
///
/// Note, Button is the only VBA Control supported by `rust_xlsxwriter`. It is
/// unlikely that any other Excel form elements will be added in the future due
/// to the implementation effort required.
///
/// Here is a complete example with a button that has a macro attached to it.
///
/// ```
/// # // This code is available in examples/app_macros.rs
/// #
/// use rust_xlsxwriter::{Button, Workbook, XlsxError};
///
/// fn main() -> Result<(), XlsxError> {
///     // Create a new Excel file object.
///     let mut workbook = Workbook::new();
///
///     // Add the VBA macro file.
///     workbook.add_vba_project("examples/vbaProject.bin")?;
///
///     // Add a worksheet and some text.
///     let worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet();
///
///     // Widen the first column for clarity.
///     worksheet.set_column_width(0, 30)?;
///
///     worksheet.write(2, 0, "Press the button to say hello:")?;
///
///     // Add a button tied to a macro in the VBA project.
///     let button = Button::new()
///         .set_caption("Press Me")
///         .set_macro("say_hello")
///         .set_width(80)

///     worksheet.insert_button(2, 1, &button)?;

///     // Save the file to disk. Note the `.xlsm` extension. This is required by
