Table action column issue

[Priyanknasit]

I’ve created a table using ng2-smart-table and configured the (userRowSelect) event. Here are the key settings I’ve applied:

hideSubHeader: true,
actions: {
  add: false,
  edit: false,
  delete: false,
}

At the end of the table, I’ve added a custom “Action” column that displays an icon.

columns: {
      id: { title: 'ID', type: 'number' },
      accoutNumber: { title: 'Account Name', type: 'string' },
      currentBalance: { title: 'Current Balance', type: 'string' },
      mobile: { title: 'Mobile', type: 'string' },
      email: { title: 'E-mail', type: 'string' },
      actions: { 
        title: 'Action',
        type: 'custom', 
        renderComponent: ActionIconComponent, 
        filter: false,
        sort: false,
        width: '50px',
        class: 'action-column-class'
        
      }

The issue I’m facing:
When I click on the icon in the Action column, the (userRowSelect) event gets triggered. However, I don't want to prevent that — I only want the icon click to open an action context menu, without triggering the row selection event.

Unfortunately, it seems like ng2-smart-table’s current behavior doesn’t allow for this kind of selective click handling.

If anyone has ideas or workarounds on how to achieve this, I’d appreciate your suggestions!

Hi, I’d like to work on this issue. I’ll explore a way to stop (userRowSelect) from triggering when clicking the Action column icon.
