FlexGrid Merge Columns: Row/Column selection inconsistant?!?!
In looking in the help, the MergeCells property seems to be what you are
after. It seems (a quote) ------
When MergeCells is set to a value other than 0 (Never), selection
highlighting is automatically turned off. This is done to speed up
repainting, and because selection of ranges containing merged cells may lead
to unexpected results.
------
So the selection set is distorted with the mergecells/rows/cols properties.
Hope this helps
