Re: Removing Item Highlight from CListCtrl

I would try using SetItemState() to set the highlight to look like what you
want. If you are actually selecting something (not just listing a bunch of
lines to look at) you may want to at least display a focus rectangle around
the current item, but you could get rid of the highlight by making a call
like:

To unhighlight an item and unfocus it
   lc.SetItemState(nItem, LVIS_FOCUSED|LVIS_SELECTED);

To highlight the item
   lc.SetItemState(nItem, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED);

To unhighlight and focus it:
   lc.SetItemState(nItem,LVIS_SELECTED);
   lc.SetItemState(nItem, LVIS_FOCUSED, LVIS_FOCUSED);

You could clear all of the bits by using -1 for the statemask, but you may
clear something you don't want cleared like state or overlay image (like in
displaying shortcut arrows and stuff)
