How to have checkbox selection in datatable with instant row selection?

I use primefaces 3.0.1 and I have a problem with my datatable.

I use my datatable with the instant row selection. That works very well. But I wish use in the same time the checkbox selection (for exemple, for select some rows and delete the selected rows)

And when I use the 

<p:column selectionMode="multiple" />

the checkbox are display, but I can't check any checkbox....

Anyone have a solution ?

Thanks.

P.S. : my code 

<p:dataTable id="rows" var="row" value="#{myBean.row}" selection="#{myBean.selectedRow}" selectionMode="single">
    <p:ajax event="rowSelect" listener="#{myBean.onRowSelect}" update="@form"/>

    <p:column selectionMode="multiple" style="width:18px" />
    <p:column>
        <h:outputText value="#{row.subject}" />
    </p:column>
</p:dataTable>

Checkboxes are to be used for multiple row selection, but you've still declared your <p:dataTable> for single row selection. Remove selectionMode="single" from the <p:dataTable> and make sure that the #{myBean.selectedRow} is changed to be an array instead.

E.g.

<p:dataTable ... selection="#{myBean.selectedRows}">

with

private Row[] selectedRows;
