Certainly! Here's a comprehensive answer on how to disable checkbox selection in Ag-Grid:
1. Using a Cell Renderer Function:
One approach is to utilize a cell renderer function for the column where the checkbox is required. Based on the return value of the function, you can enable or disable the checkbox. Code:
// Define the column definition
const columnDefs = [
{
headerName: 'Checkbox',
field: 'checkbox',
cellRenderer: function (params) {
// Disable the checkbox based on a condition
if (params.data.disableCheckbox) {
return ``;
}
// Enable the checkbox
return ``;
}
}
];
2. Leveraging Row Class Rules:
Another method involves adding row class rules in the GridOptions. This technique disables checkbox clickability by applying CSS styles. Code:
// Define row class rules in GridOptions
gridOptions.rowClassRules = {
'ag-row-selected': function (params) {
// Disable checkbox selection for selected rows
return params.node.selected === true;
}
};
3. Employing a Group Cell Renderer:
If you're utilizing the built-inagGroupCellRenderer for multiple selection, you can disable the node's selectable flag to control checkbox rendering.
Code:
// Define the column definition
const columnDefs = [
{
headerName: 'Checkbox',
field: 'checkbox',
cellRenderer: 'agGroupCellRenderer',
cellRendererParams: {
checkbox: function (params) {
// Determine whether to show the checkbox based on a condition
const isGroupRow = params.node.level === 0;
if (isGroupRow) {
params.node.selectable = // Your condition to determine selectability
}
return isGroupRow;
}
}
}
];
4. Disabling Checkboxes with CSS:
A pure CSS workaround can also achieve the desired result. This method involves modifying the CSS styles of the checkbox elements. Code:
// CSS styles
.ag-selection-checkbox.ag-hidden {
display: inherit !important;
opacity: 0.6;
cursor: not-allowed;
}
5. Forcing Checkbox Disabled State:
You can set the disabled attribute directly in the column definition to force checkboxes into a disabled state. Code:
// Define the column definition
const columnDefs = [
{
headerName: 'Checkbox',
field: 'checkbox',
editable: false,
cellRenderer: function (params) {
// Set the checkbox as disabled
return ``;
}
}
];
6. Disabling Header Checkbox for Filtered Data:
To disable the header checkbox when no data is found after filtering, you can use theheaderCheckboxSelectionFilteredOnly property.
Code:
// Grid options
gridOptions.headerCheckboxSelectionFilteredOnly = true;
7. Overriding Disable Behavior:
To override the default disabling behavior, you can use theisRowSelectable callback function in the grid configuration. This allows you to define your own rules for row selectability.
Code:
// Define the grid configuration
const gridOptions = {
isRowSelectable: function (node) {
// Your custom logic to determine row selectability
return node.data?.columnName !== "something";
}
};
