Jennifer, ListBox is just a <select> element so you're right, you can't set the selected value to a value that isn't an <option>.
You might be interested in the SuggestBox from the core library or the DropDownListBox from the GWT Incubator. I also experimented with a ComboBox implementation in my SimpleGWT project.
