This method is used to create styles preserving existing style elements such as DataType or Format.

Example

The code below changes a column so it looks like a fixed column, without modifying the column's data type, alignment, etc.

// create a new style
CellStyle cs = _flex.Styles.Add("newStyle");
            
// set data type, alignment
cs.DataType = typeof(int);
cs.TextAlign = TextAlignEnum.CenterCenter;
            
// copy remaining elements from "Fixed" style
cs.MergeWith(_flex.Styles.Fixed);
            
// assign new style to grid column
_flex.Cols[col].Style = cs;
