Multi-Range Selection (Angular)

Set FlexGrid's selectionMode property to MultiRange to enable Excel-style multi-range selection. Users will be able to select multiple ranges by ctrl-clicking and dragging on the grid.

The sample shows how you can provide Excel-style dynamic data summaries for the current selection (regular or multi-range) and how to export selected ranges to CSV files.

Note that clipboard and export commands only work for multi-range selections if all selected ranges refer to the same column range or to the same row range. (Excel also behaves this way.)
