You can use a worksheet_selectionchange event.

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = Target.EntireRow.Address Then
MsgBox "whole row(s) selected"
End If
End Sub

Rightclick on the worksheet tab that should have this behavior and select view
code. Paste this into the code window.

But I'm not sure if that will help.

Maybe you could train them to do a shift-spacebar (to select the entirerow),
then ctrl-hypen.

For #2. Maybe you could tie into the worksheet_calculate event to see what the
filters are.

Hi All
Is there a 'simple' way of detecting if a user selects an entire row in a
worksheet that can be used to trigger an event?

I have a need to control users who wish to delete an entire row by way of
the CTRL- sequence.

On another related matter, if a worksheet is protected (all cells) and an
autofilter is in place, is there a way to detect that the user is clicking
the autofilter ?

TIA
