UITableViewCell setSelectionStyle example.

All you have to do is set the selection style on the UITableViewCell instance using either:

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
or

[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
Further, make sure you either don't implement -tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: in your table view delegate or explicitly exclude the cells you want to have no action if you do implement it.
