Flexigrid - how to turn off row selection

I know this thread is a bit old but I came upon it looking for the same thing. The singleSelect didn't work for me as I didn't want to be able to select any row. I found that I could remove any row selection with a single line of code:

$('.grid tr').unbind('click');

This a course removes all bindings on the table row so if you needed the binding you won't have it unless you rebind later but I needed to remove any and all row selection on my table. I didn't need to touch the flexigrid code to do so which I liked a bit more than previous answers.


Unfortunately Mr Flibble's accepted answer does not stop all selection capability, it merely restricts it to one row. To disable it completely, add a new property to the $.extend block (around line 20)

// apply default properties
p = $.extend({
<SNIP>
onSubmit: false, // using a custom populate function
disableSelect: true

Then in the .click section of the row (around line 754) add a check for the property

$(this)
.click(
 function (e)
 {
  var obj = (e.target || e.srcElement); if (obj.href || obj.type) return true;
  if (p.disableSelect) return true;
  $(this).toggleClass('trSelected');
  if (p.singleSelect) $(this).siblings().removeClass('trSelected');
 }
)

Turns out you need to change the singleSelect property to true.

singleSelect: true
