If this is the multiboxonly functionality with multiselect, then this is not what I need although I have tested it and it works as it probably should.

In my case I want the onSelectRow to fire when I click on the row, but *not* when I click on a checkbox I've placed in the row myself. Using multiboxonly achieves the opposite result – the onSelectRow only fires when I check the box

I think a good solution would be to pass in the row_id and cell_id to onSelectRow and then I can ignore any click made in the cell with my checkbox inside.

jqGrid works on the assumptionthat clicking on a row selects the row. I'd like to perform an action when I click on the row, but not select it until I click on the checkbox, so I suppose another method would be to have a onClickRow event, which overrides onSelectRow.
