<h5 id="C1_Win_FlexGrid_RowCol_Format_remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>The Format property affects how values are formatted for display, not the values stored internally. 
To retrieve the formatted value of a cell, use the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.GetDataDisplay.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_GetDataDisplay_System_Int32_System_Int32_">GetDataDisplay(int, int)</a> property.</p>
<p>The Format string has the same semantics as the format argument in the .NET <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string.format#system-string-format(system-iformatprovider-system-string-system-object)">Format(IFormatProvider, string, object)</a>
method. For details and a complete set of examples, see the .NET documentation.</p>
