Details

The _getColumnFormattedData method provides an easy way to obtain formatted data for a column in the currently locked row. For example, using the _getColumnValue method on a date column would return the internal date value, but using _getColumnFormattedData would return the formatted date value.

The _getColumnFormattedData method uses the last Data Set Data Vector. You cannot call the _getColumnFormattedData method until you pass a Data Set Data Vector instance to another method of this object, such as the _getRow method.
