How to make hidden rows not editable/copiable in VBA?

The macro hides rows. After the rows are hidden, users can copy, edit and delete blocks of cells/rows. When users select the range that contains hidden cells, hidden cells, unfortunately, got selected also, so all actions are performed on hidden cells too.

Is it possible to hide row开发者_开发技巧s in a such way, so they do not participate in actions performed on visible part of worksheet (behave as hidden rows after autofilter)?

To hide rows I use this code:

 Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True

Not that I am aware of. You will probably need to look at protecting the worksheet and locking cells that you don't want modified/copied.
