Dynamic Coltype addIn

dynamicColTypeAddIn.js

/*
 * Dynamic colType (AddIn)
 *
 * This addIn allows a control of the addIn called on a cell basis, rather than on a
 * column basis only.
 *
 * Options:
 * - colType: 'formattedText' by default. This can be controlled by passing a state 
 *            dependant function to the registered addIn options.
 * - compName: atm the addIn needs to have access to the component where the options
 *             are defined, so it needs to have that component name passed.
