This is not an expected behavior so it might confuse tour users. Best to provide an unselect button for that purpose, or add an item "no selection" to the list or if the user click on the list but not an item deselect it or use extended selection mode in which Ctrl+Click can be used to select or unselect items (multiple sélections including none).

Solution 1

Use the CListBox::SetCurSel[^] function to clear the selection, probably in the OnKillFocus[^] override.

Thanks. Yet another question that could be answered simply by reading the documentation.

Yes, sometimes the 'router to the right documentation page' is boring.

+5 for the answer, but in defense of OP, the answer to this question is not easily findable unless you know the answer already.

I didn't know it already, I read the documentation.

I'll give you another +5. :-)
