Not sure this will work, just a suggestion: can't you override the keyboard event handlers: OnChar, OnKeyDown, OnKeyUp... for this control ?

I have already used the OnKeyUp method to handle my shortcut in the Dilaog. Is there any way to stop the auto selection of the rows like auto arrangement in ascending and decending order?

I don't know.

If I were you, I would try overriding all the keyboard-related handlers.

I think you can handle this situation using PreTranslateMessage in your dialog box

C#

if(pMsg->hwnd == m_MyList.GetSafeHwnd())
{
    if(pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
    {
            //you will enter here when the key is pressed on list control
    }
}
