UITableView Setting some cells as “unselectable”

Question

How can I set the UITableView\'s cell property to be unselectable? I don\'t want to see that blue selection box when the user taps on the cell.

Answer 1

Apple says that the first thing you should do in didSelectRowAtIndexPath is to deselect the row

[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:[tableView indexPathForSelectedRow] animated:NO];

Then you can change the AccessoryType to be a checkmark, or none, etc. So when you enter didSelectRowAtIndexPath you could deselect the row, and if its not meant to be selected, simply don't check that row.
