If the contents of the list is a string
setting selectedItem should just work. If it’s an object and you have a ref
to the same object in the CB, setting selectedItem should work.
If you just have matching values you’ll
probably need to loop, unless the objects in the dataProvider implement IUID
and then you could try to pass an object that has the same uid value as the one
you want to select. That of course is harder to pull off.

I've already tried that.
Well, not getItemAt because I used items.selectedItem (same thing).
