VBA: Highlight header row on Autofilter

[FryGirl]

I found this thread to set a background color to the column header of the column with an autofilter applied.

It works fine on the Worksheet Activate event, but not for the Worksheet Change, Calculate, or Selection Change.

Not sure which on I need, but I'm just looking to apply the background color when the user applies a filter in row 1!

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]Sub filterhighlight()
    Dim flt As Filter
    Dim intCol As Integer
    For Each flt In ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Filters
        intCol = intCol + 1
        If flt.On Then
            Cells(1, intCol).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
        Else
            Cells(1, intCol).Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
        End If
    Next flt
End Sub
[/FONT]

Which version of Excel? I would expect Worksheet_Calculate to work for an autofilter.

Do you have any formulae on that sheet?
if not put something like
=SUBTOTAL(2,A1:A100)
into a blank cell.

No, I do not have any formulas on this sheet and usually won't. And yes, adding Subtotal worked, but can it work without the formula?​

You could use a selection change event, but that wont change the colour until they select another cell after applying the filter.

Ok, that makes sense and will work for my needs. I have some conditional formatting applied to highlight the entire row the user has selected, so this will activate the highlight code. Thank you.
