When this property is set to OperationMode.Normal or OperationMode.ReadOnly,

You can set the FpSpread class or SpreadView class SelectionBlockOptions property to specify that users can select only certain items, such as just cells, columns, or rows.
If you want to customize the sheet so that users and the application can only select certain items, set the SelectionUnit property.
If you want to allow users to select single cells, a range of cells, or multiple ranges of cells, set the SelectionPolicy property.

When this property is set, related properties are also set automatically as summarized in this table:

	SelectionUnit = SelectionUnit.Cell

SingleSelect	SelectionPolicy = SelectionPolicy.Single
	SelectionUnit = SelectionUnit.Row

MultiSelect	SelectionPolicy = SelectionPolicy.MultiRange
