Adding buttons is not a simple process. But removing or hiding button will be simple trick. There is no resource associated with property sheet. But we can make use of virtual functions of dialog box. Make use of InInitdialog function.
the IDs of butons on the sheet are
IDOK, IDCANCEL, ID_APPLY_NOW

BOOL CMyPropSheet::OnInitDialog ()
{
BOOL bResult = CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog ();
CWnd *pWnd = GetDlgItem (IDOK);
ASSERT (NULL != pWnd);
pWnd->ShowWindow (SW_HIDE);

pWnd = GetDlgItem (IDCANCEL);
ASSERT (NULL != pWnd);
pWnd->ShowWindow (SW_HIDE);

// Lets chage the caption of apply button.

pWnd = GetDlgItem (ID_APPLY_NOW);
ASSERT (NULL != pWnd);
pWnd->SetWindowText (_T ("My apply"));

return bResult;
}

For adding more buttons, either you do the hard way of caluclating the layout of property sheet and adding the buttons at run time at required locations.
Or simple way is make use of mehtod of embedding property sheets on dialog boxes. For this you can have a look at the examples posted on codeguru.com site.
