Enabling empty selection in IB should do the trick. You can also control selection programmatically with the delegate.

That looked promising, but tableView:shouldSelectRow: does not get
called when the window appears after being created or hidden. Nor does
it get called if I click the selected row. It does get called if I click
in an empty row and then back in a row with data.
Out of curiosity: Why not allow selection? Users might want to copy and paste information about documents. Selection doesn't have to mean editable._______________________________________________
Interesting thought - I guess there might actually be some use to
allowing selection and copy. I am experimenting with replacing a Carbon
window with a Cocoa one in an otherwise Carbon application, so I'm
trying to limit the amount of impact on the rest of my code. Enabling
copy would mean more changes than I'm interested in at this point, but
I'll put that on my list for further examination.
