Range Select

Sometimes, you may need to allow end-users to enter ranges (e.g. “Sheet1!$A$5:$C$10”) by selecting the ranges on the spreadsheet instead of manually typing them. The result or returned value of this feature would be the text representing the address of one or more ranges in a textbox (example of two ranges: “Sheet1!A1:B5,Sheet2!G11”).

If you want to use range select mode, you just need to create a formulaTextBox that has this option {rangeSelectMode: true}. For example: You can use the workbook method of FormulaTextBox to attach this formulaTextBox to a spread. For example: If fbx1.workbook() doesn't have arguments, range select does not work. You can use the text method of FormulaTextBox to get the text of the formula text box. You can use the destroy method to remove the formula text box elements.
