Setting the property id to null disables this feature. The id is null by default

.

Returns:

the Id of the property containing the item icons.

public boolean isSelected(Object itemId)

Tests if an item is selected.

In single select mode testing selection status of the item identified by getNullSelectionItemId() returns true if the value of the property is null.

Parameters:
