I am not much of a component developer, so hopefully someone else will have some better ideas, but, this might be a little difficult.
You essentially want to override the entire selection functionality of the datagrid, if selection is to be controlled only by the checkbox. For instance, you don't want a row selected if someone clicks on a different column, which is the DG normal behavior. Do you need the full datagrid functionality? Resizable columns and the like? If not and you just wanted a tabular display, consider doing this from scratch, probably with Repeater with a custom component in a Vbox. That would be pretty simple. Sorting would not be difficult. If you do need the full DG functionality, I suspect you will need to extend DG. Good luck.

I have added a column with a checkbox for each row: <mx:DataGridColumn textAlign="center" width="30"> <mx:itemRenderer> <mx:Component> <mx:CheckBox /> </mx:Component> </mx:itemRenderer> </mx:DataGridColumn> [other DataGridColums...] I need to select the rows by checking on it corresponding checkbox, the same way I select rows by pressing ctrl + click.
