Default how to get marching ants in Excel programmatically

I am trying to get marching ants in Excel programmatically.

I have some special data in certain cells. I added a menu item to right
click - when user clicks on that menu items then I want to show all the
cells (with marching ants around) that has special data. Is this possible to
do programatically?

Thanks in advance!!
