DreadedEntity: Prior to ArmA 1.90 lbSetCurSel -1 had no effect while the listbox was populated. You needed to use lbClear first, then lbSetCurSel -1, then re-populate the listbox.; Posted on March 1, 2015 - 18:37 (UTC)
Longbow: Keep in mind that running this command against control will fire attached 'onLBSelChanged' event handler.
