Bharath,

You can use the BorderAround method to draw a border around a
range of cells. E.g.,

Range("C3:F5").BorderAround LineStyle:=xlSolid, Weight:=xlMedium

You can draw arrows with code like

Dim SH As Shape
Set SH = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddLine(beginx:=Range("C3").Lef t, _
beginy:=Range("C3").Top, endx:=Range("F5").Left, _
endy:=Range("F5").Top)
SH.Line.EndArrowheadStyle = msoArrowheadTriangle

See the XRay game on my web site for lots of examples of drawing
lines on a worksheet: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/download.htm

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is any programmer API to draw a
border around ranges in Excel. I basically want to demaracate
cells the way Excel does it while showing ranges involved in a
formula. Is this border functionality exposed to developers?

On the same lines, I also want to draw arrows across cells, the
way I Excel does when it shows precedents and dependents.

Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
