Selecting Columns

By using FlexGrid's allowSorting, allowDragging and selectionMode properties, you can incorperate Excel-style column selection functionality within FlexGrid.

First, set allowSorting and allowDragging to false. This prevents sort and drag operations from interfering with click events used to select columns.

Second, set selectionMode to 'MultiRange', so users will be able to click the column headers to select columns, or ctrl+click to toggle the selected state of specific columns.
