How do you merge cells in a Flex Datagrid?

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 group.

For example, I'll take three columns: column1, column2, column3. All these three should be grouped to the Category cell with a rowspan of 3 -- a "super header" if you will.

Thanks, let me know.

This should create a Split Header according to Alex Harui:

Similarly, instead of trying to merge two cells horizontally: try splitting one cell into two cells using and itemRenderer for the dataGridColumn.

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.

AFAIK, no. Let someone correct me, but I've gone through the trouble to write my own table control to get around this. The Grid has the span concept though.

That is, I mean horizontal grouping. The AdvancedDataGrid supports row-grouping, but I've never used it so I can't go into specific examples.
