selectionStyle in iPhone UITableViewCell selectionStyle when editing?

Question

Possible Duplicate:
How can I disable the UITableView selection highlighting?

When you tap a row in a UITableView, the row is highlighted and selected. Is it possible to disable this so tapping a row does nothing?

In the dup article, I prefer the lower-vote answer that sets the allowsSelection=NO on property on the tableView. — danh, Jan 10 '13 at 16:48
Setting `allowsSelection` to `NO` is good, but only if you want the entire table view to have unselectable rows. For more fine-grain control over individual cells' selectability, use `UITableViewCell`'s `selectionStyle` property instead. — Pripyat, Jan 10 '13 at 17:20

Yes below code will disable user interaction , if you jut want to disable some certain cells you need to write some if - else methods

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

    cell.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

    return cell;
}

This will prevent cells from receiving touch events, and that is probably not what he wants. – Display Name can only contain Jan 10 '13 at 16:48
well if you disable user interaction user can not tap it:), and he uses probably a fake account anyway – u.gen Jan 10 '13 at 17:03

If you have buttons or anything on your cell that still needs to be 'touchable', than just set the selection style to none:

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

If it just a cell with text than you can do like Space Dust suggested.

This has been answered before.

Grab the UITableViewCell instance and set the following property:

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

Also you can try this:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];

    //do ur stuff

}
