excel - Selection outline in search results (from GUI) on a sheet that is set to xlNoSelection -


i have sheet set sheet.enableselection = xlnoselection.

reasons need xlnoselection remain:

  • the user must able both sort , filter table resides in sheet using table's gui.
  • the user must not able in way alter (including adding or removing) contents of cell inside table. sorting table not count against criteria though excel considers sort process "changing cell contents".
  • the user must not able insert/remove columns or rows.

xlnoselection in conjunction locking sheet (while cells' locked-property false) solution have found solves this, , setup operational is. thing lacking selection outline during "binocular search" home ribbon.

i'm observing search function in fact select cell (and cell contents in part visible in formula bar), there no selection outline around selected cell (i guess feature of xlnoselection).

my question: there way can selection outline while retaining xlnoselection? outline necessary during search, doesn't matter if it's permanently active (or not) long no manual selections can made.

i thought using manual selection highlight feature using worksheet_change, clunky since user can't make selections on own - meaning last-most search result remain highlighted after user has exited search.

any suggestion (including moving away xlnoselection) welcomed long bulletpoint criteria @ top of post aren't violated.
