David thank you
I did try Terry's idea and yes it works perfectly. But when I do an arrow
up-down it will trigger the setfocus in the list box were as I want NO
response at all. The end user must click on the selection, or am I being to
picky?

Subject: Re: Clearing the focus on a Listbox
I think you are confusing the issues of clearing the focus and clearing
the selection.
If a listbox has a selection (highlighted row) and you clear the focus,
the highlight of the row remains but changes to the 'unfocused' color
(gray on my system).
If a listbox has a selection (highlighted row) and you clear the
selection, the highlight of the row is removed.
A listbox with the focus and no selection can be indistinguishable from a
listbox without the focus and no selection depending on whether or not
you have UseFocusRing set to TRUE or FALSE.
Based on your further description it sounds like you are more concerned
with clearing the selection; clearing the focus seems unnecessary.
If that is the case, then Terry's first response (setting ListIndex = -1)
gives you the behavior you want.

Just do a [self.setfocus] in the section where I want to clear and
unsetfocus to the listbox?
