jqgrid: multiselect and disable check (conditional)

Question

I love jqGrid but sometimes things seem more complicated than they should be.
What I would like to achieve is to have a checkbox on each row so that a user can choo

For people (like me) that end up on this answer after searching on Google, there is a very easy solution to this problem since jqGrid 4.0.0.

It's enough to add the css-class 'ui-state-disabled' to the row that you don't want to be selected. See The changelog of jqGrid 4.0.0. And you could still combine that with hiding or disabling the checkbox.

    var $jqgrid = $("#jqgridselector");         
    //loop through all rows
    $(".jqgrow", $jqgrid).each(function (index, row) {
        var $row = $(row);
        if ($row === condition) {
            //Find the checkbox of the row and set it disabled
            $row.find("input:checkbox").attr("disabled", "disabled");
            //add class ui-state-disabled, because thats how jqGrid knows not to take them into account for selection
            $row.addClass("ui-state-disabled");
            //I overwrite the opactity of the ui-state-disabled class to make the row look 'normal'
            $row.css("opacity", 1);
            }
        });
