The SortBarCaption property specifies the caption of the control's sort bar, when it contains no sorted columns. Use the SortBarVisible property to show the control's sort bar. Use the BackColorSortBar, BackColorSortBarCaption and ForeColorSortBar properties to specify colors for the control's sort bar. Use the SortBarHeight property to specify the height of the control's sort bar. Use the SortBarColumnWidth property to specify the width of the column in the control's sort bar. By default, the SortBarCaption property is "Drag a <b>column</b> header here to sort by that column.". Use the Font property to specify the control's font. Use the ItemBySortPosition property to access the columns in the control's sort bar. 

The SortBarCaption property may include built-in HTML tags like follows:

• <b>  bold </b> bolds a part of the caption.
• <u> underline </u> specifies that the portion should appear as underlined. 
• <s> strikeout </s> specifies that the portion should appear as strikeout.

• <upline> draws the line to the top of the text line
• <r> aligns the rest of the text line to the right side. It has no effect if the caption contains a single line.
• <img>number[:width]</img> inserts an icon inside the cell's caption. The number indicates the index of the icon being inserted.
