DHTMLX Grid : Combine Cells in Grid.

Hi,
I want to have combine cells functionality somewhat similar to MS Excel. How can I achieve this ????

There is no ready to use GUI for such task
Cells can be spaned programmatically, by 
    grid.setColspan(id,index,size)
    grid.setRowspan(id,index,size)

Hi,
     How can I give "size" parameter using blockSelection feature ???

Block selection featrue not purposed for such usage. 
You can get position of block selection, and based on it get necessary dimensions

You can get blockselection params without any additional code modifications. 

var size =  grid._selectionArea.RightBottomCol-grid._selectionArea.LeftTopCol+1;
