How to deselect cells in uitable / how to disable cell selection highlighting?

Question

I created the following uitable:

actually every single row is an indpendent

Answer 1

After some deeper research I found out, that the Matlab Support comes out with the following solution:

%overwrite data with a dummy and restore the old data afterwards, to force deselection
function modifySelection(src,~)
 ...
temp = get(src,'Data')
set(src,'Data',{ 'dummy' });
set(src,'Data', temp );

end

Doing this the blue highlighting is gone, BUT the dotted line around the last selected cell remains! But I found a solution resolving this, which also makes the first part dispensable.

function modifySelection(src,evt)
 ...
fh = get(src,'parent');    % get parent figure handle
copyobj(src,fh);           % copy uitable to parent figure
delete(src);               % delete current uitable

end

Which results in the desired behaviour:

Drawback of the second solution: it lags a little (probably just on slow machines), because of the creation of a new object.
