Prevent Sorting with Checkbox in Header

Environment

Product	Progress® Kendo UI® Grid for jQuery
Created with version	2017.3.1026

Description

My Grid has a header template, which contains a checkbox, for a column. When I click the checkbox, the column gets sorted.

How can I prevent the sorting of the column which uses a header template and has a checkbox in its header?

Solution

To allow the selection and deselection of the checkbox only and prevent the event propagation, handle the click event.
