I have a simple ag-grid in an Angular project and want to disable selection of cells in one of its columns. Simply removing the default blue outline during selection would also be fine. I just want no visual change to the cell when the user clicks inside it. How can I do this?
I see that ColDef
has a property suppressNavigable
that sort of helps, since it disallows using the tab key to select the cells, but it still allows selection by clicking. Also, the grid itself seems to offer suppressCellSelection
but it doesn't seem granular enough and doesn't seem to affect anything anyway.
So, how can I remove this blue border cell selection?
Here's the code I have for these column definitions:
this.columnDefs = [ { headerName: 'One', field: 'one' }, { headerName: 'Two', field: 'two' }, { // I want to disable selection of cells in this column headerName: 'I want no cell selection!', field: 'three', suppressNavigable: true, editable: false, } ];
Here's a stackblitz example I was using to test with.
Here's a screenshot of the blue border I don't want to see in this column:
suppressCellSelection = true we can disable cell selection for all columns' cells. Here the question is regarding not showing a specific column's cell's highlighted border when it is selected. You can achieve this by bit of CSS and cellClass property of ColDef .
To programatically deselect a single row, use rowNode. setSelected(false) . rowNode. setSelected(isSelected, clearSelection) can be used to select rows as well, and will deselect all rows other than the subject rowNode if clearSelection is true .
You can enable or disable the checkbox by returning true or false from the cellRenderer function. Show activity on this post. If you're using the builtin agGroupCellRenderer to render checkbox for multiple selection, you can turn off the node's selectable flag when deciding whether to render checkbox or not.
If you want the grid to stop editing when focus leaves the cell or the grid, set the grid property stopEditingWhenCellsLoseFocus = true .
Note that if we set
gridOption.suppressCellSelection = true
we can disable cell selection for all columns' cells.Here the question is regarding not showing a specific column's cell's highlighted border when it is selected.
You can achieve this by bit of CSS and cellClass
property of ColDef
.
You'll need to add below CSS.
.ag-cell-focus,.ag-cell-no-focus{ border:none !important; } /* This CSS is to not apply the border for the column having 'no-border' class */ .no-border.ag-cell:focus{ border:none !important; outline: none; }
And use the same class as cellClass
in ColDef
suppressNavigable: true, cellClass: 'no-border'
Live example: aggrid-want-to-disable-cell-selection
This won't show border for the cell you even focus using mouse click.
I'd suggest to use the suppressCellSelection
option in gridOptions. A CSS quick fix is not something that I'd suggest to go for.
this.gridOptions = { // Your grid options here.... suppressCellSelection: true };
