Using replace function for this code instead of delete

Question

I have created a user form for data entry and all entries shows in a list box , im still new to this so bare with me. when I select a line from the List and click delete, I want it to replace the values with "XXX' instead of delete row so that I keep the sequence of the serial number that I have, because the function that i have is that it counts nonblank cells so when i delete it adjusts the serial number according to nonblank cells.

How can I use replace function in this

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("NEWROUND").Rows(selected_List + 1).Delete

so that it can replace with "XXX" instead?

the code for the delete button is this:

Private Sub ButtonDelete_Click()


If selected_List = 0 Then

MsgBox "No Delegation is selected.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Delete"
Exit Sub
End If

Dim i As VbMsgBoxResult
i = MsgBox("Do you want to delete the selected Delegation?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Confirmation")
    
If i = vbNo Then Exit Sub


ThisWorkbook.Sheets("NEWROUND").Rows(selected_List + 1).Delete

Call RESET
    
MsgBox "Selected Delegation is Deleted.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Deleted"
     

End Sub

please help!!

The answer is by by Tim Williams in the comments but wanted to answer it so that the question is closed. because it was very helpful.

worked like a charm !

 ThisWorkbook.Sheets("NEWROUND").Cells(selected_List + 1, _

("A").Resize(1, 10).Value = "XXX"

(eg.) to fill first 10 cols with "XXX" That's not a good way to handle a serial number though. You could instead use a number stored in a cell on a hidden sheet, or in a defined Name in the workbook. For example see stackoverflow.com/a/12058811/478884 –
