Hello everyone,

I would like to disable the selection of the rows in NatTable. How can I do that ? I am using a GlazedList and I tried to get rid of the selectionLayer but I could not. The version of NatTable I am using is 1.3.0.

Best regards,
Inès E.

What was the problem when you tried to remove the selection layer?

I don't understand the question. If you don't want to use the SelectionLayer, simply don't add it to your body layer stack.

Hello,

My other variables used it and need it a selectionLayer as an argument. Therefore, I couldn't remove it simply.

Sorry, but your explanation is too vague. I don't know how to help with that information.

In general you could also simply try to disable the selection bindings. But I'm not sure if that fits your needs as I don't have enough information.

Either you do not need it, so you can replace it with something else, or you can't replace it so you probably need it.

Hello,

I don't think that I can replace it since like I said my I have other variables that require it. However I don't want the user to be able to select a line, because when he does, all the lines are selected and it is a giant mess. Plus, I don't want to have this feature. To wrap up, I need to have it in my code but I don't want it to be enabled for the user. Hope you understand my issue better. Thanks for replying by the way Smile

Your explanation is strange. It sounds like you enabled row selection but don't want to have row selection enabled. For me that doesn't make sense. But I don't have the time to discuss your use cases.

As said before, you need to modify the selection bindings. Turn off the auto configuration when creating the SelectionLayer and provide custom SelectionBindings. Have a look at the DefaultSelectionBindings implementation and check which one you need and which not when creating a custom binding configuration.
