Description:

Selects the item with the given index in the listbox, listnbox, combobox, xcombobox, xlistbox

⚠

The following only applicable to Alternative Syntax when used with CT_LISTBOX and CT_LISTNBOX
To deselect all entries, use -1: _ctrl lbSetCurSel -1; For listbox of style LB_MULTI use lbSetSelected instead.
CT_COMBO does not allow unselecting entries, instead it will select the first one. If you really need to unselect a combobox then follow these steps:

1. Are you really really sure you want to unselect a combobox? This behavior is inconsistent with the usual functionality of a combobox.
2. Read the note from DreadedEntity below.

Prior to ArmA 1.90 lbSetCurSel -1 had no effect while the listbox was populated. You needed to use lbClear first, then lbSetCurSel -1, then re-populate the listbox.

Keep in mind that running this command against control will fire attached 'onLBSelChanged' event handler.
