Note that these values are a combination of binary flags and are not sequential. You may combine settings using the Or operator. For example:
' allow sorting, moving rows, and moving columns
fg.ExplorerBar = flexExMoveRows Or flexExSortShowAndMove.
By default, the ExplorerBar works like the one in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. One click sorts the column in ascending order, the next in descending order. Any non-fixed column may be dragged to any non-fixed position. The control fires events that allow you to customize this behavior. The events are BeforeSort, AfterSort, BeforeMoveColumn, and AfterMoveColumn.
You must have at least one fixed row to be able to use the ExplorerBar's column moving and sorting capabilities, and at least one fixed column to use the row moving capability. To move rows by dragging non-fixed cells, see the DragRow method.
