Is it possible to Stop jqGrid row(s) from being selected and/or highlighted?

Question

I've looked at the documentation but I've been unable to find an answer. Is there a way to prevent a row from being highlighted when selected? That or even a way to stop the row being selected at all. I like the "hoverrows: true" option, but ideally I would like to stop a row from being selected on-click.

Thanks,

Update: I've been able to "hackily" implement something which seems to be an interim fix. I don't really like it at all and would idealy like a better solution, if there is one...

I have found that if I pass the option

onSelectRow: function(rowid, status) {     $('#'+rowid).removeClass('ui-state-highlight'); } 

when I instantiate the jqGrid, I can strip the highlight when it is added.

Is there another, more ideal, way to do this?

Answer 1

Use the following code:

beforeSelectRow: function(rowid, e) {     return false; } 

Answer 2

If you, like me, have a gazillion jqGrids and don't want to override onSelectRow for every single one, here's a global version of Reigel's solution that worked nicely for me:

jQuery.extend(jQuery.jgrid.defaults, {     onSelectRow: function(rowid, e) {         $('#'+rowid).parents('table').resetSelection();     } });
