I found the solution to my problem. It depends on the fact
that "click" is fired after "itemClick."
var m_processingItemClick:Boolean = false;
private function onItemClick(event:ListEvent):void
{
processingItemClick = true;
}
private function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if (m_processingItemClick)
m_processingItemClick = false;
else
grid.selectedIndex = -1;
}
