Hmm, it should work. Here's the code I use all the time:

BOOL CMyListCtrl::SetFocusToItem (int i)
{
    int n = GetItemCount();
    if (n < 0) // no items in list
  return TRUE;

 // Remove selections
 POSITION pos = GetFirstSelectedItemPosition();
 while (pos)
 {
  int iItem = GetNextSelectedItem(pos);
     SetItemState (iItem, 0, LVIS_SELECTED);
 }

    // Remove existing focus;
    int iFocus = GetItemWithFocus ();
    if (iFocus >= 0)
     SetItemState (iFocus, 0, LVIS_FOCUSED);

 // Set focus/selection
 if (i < n) // valid item
  SetItemState (i, LVIS_FOCUSED | LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_FOCUSED |
LVIS_SELECTED);

 return TRUE;
}

You can try to call SetFocusToItem(2) or something to see if it works and
then go from there.
