Comments

The GetMainCell method returns the main cell, if the current cell is part of the main cell due to cell merging.

Any subordinate cell is owned by a main cell. The main cell occupies the space of all its subordinate cells.

If a cell is not a subordinate cell (or if it's a main cell), GetMainCell returns null/Nothing for the cell parameter.

The MainCell property can be used to retrieve any subordinate cell's owning main cell. The MainCell property is identical to the GetMainCell method, except that GetMainCell also returns the relative position of the main cell (offset argument).

SftTabs/NET 6.0: Cell merging is not used in this product.
