selection

Turn on/off grid selection. Default value is false. The selection can be bool or object. If it is set to true the single row selection is enabled without toggling:

$("#grid").shieldGrid({
    dataSource: {
        data: [
            { ID: 1, name: "name1" },
            { ID: 2, name: "name2" }
        ]
    },
    selection: true,
    columns: [
        { field: "ID", title: “Unique Number”, format: "{0:c}" },
        { field: "name", title : “Name”, width: “300px }
    ]
});
