Disabling the selected record indicator

Is it possible to turn off the selected record indicator in list view (the black rectangle on the left)?

On the forum I could only find an old post to achieve this by putting an element on top. I was hoping that I could turn it completely off without having to apply tricks.

Nope, as far as I know you need to place an element over the left side.

Have you tried setting a rowBGColorCalculation?
You can use a global method returning a simple color and I believe it will not show, or you can add alternate row coloring, and even show the select row with a third color. For example:

function GENERIC_row_background()
{
	var index = arguments[0]; // index of the "current row" iterated
	var selected = arguments[1]; // is true is selected
	
	if (selected) {
		return '#BED7F7';
	}
	else {
		if (index % 2 == 0) {
			return '#F7F8EF';
		}
		else {
			return '#FFFFFF';
		}
	}
}

I have found out that using this code, you don’t have the annoying black rectangle anymore, so I believe that even with only one color returned (no tests, just a plain color String), it should do the trick…

I guess Patrick proved me wrong. Yes there is a way. Use the rowbgcolor calc.

Thanks Patrick! It works! :D

Because I don’t need any highlighting at all, I created a function that simply returns ‘#ffffff’ for a white background. The selected record indicator disappears!
