Hi,

Is it possible that the selected row of a perspective table to be read only for the user?  
The selected row will be bind to a tag and I don’t want the user to be able to change the selected row.

Table data is read-only by default. Even if it is bound to a tag, you would need to explicitly make individual columns editable in order to support write-back to a tag, and even then you’d probably have to sue some sort of `onEditCellCommit` Event to actually perform the write-back.
