How to allow edit object after protecting the excel file in code?

ActiveSheet.Protect Password:=pw

After the file is protected and click on one of the checkboxes, the window message pops up saying 'protected and realy only", I have to click OK then continue for editing. I would like to avoid that message pops up.

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Try using UserInterfaceOnly:=True with the protect line:

Code:
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:=pw, UserInterfaceOnly:=True

I already try it before posting, but it didn't work quite well. That read only message pops up but allowing me to put a check mark there.
