Remove focus from selection in combo or list box 1

[Numbers1]

I would like to take the focus off of a selection after choosing it in a drop down combo box. The combo box is bound to an Excel worksheet where it obtains the list of items to be displayed. After selecting an item from the list, it is in blue and can be edited. I would like to have the selection uneditable and not in focus after its selection.
I have a similar problem of removing focus after selection in a list box except the items in the list box are from an array and are not editable when selected. However the selected item still shows up as being highlighted.
Thanks for your help.

ActiveSheet.range("A1").Select will remove focus from the controls. Don't know if it de-selects in the list box.
