How do you merge cells in a Flex Datagrid?

Question

Is there any way to merge cells (vertically and/or horizontally) in a datagrid? At least, for example, is there a way to show that certain datagridcolumns belong to one grou

Answer 1

I have found that a free MecGrid component solves this merging cells problem (it includes other cool features). But this custom component also misses a lot of other features found in standard FlexComponents.
