Selects an item in the drop list user control that is specified by userControlID.
The selected item is the item that is displayed when the drop list is collapsed. When it is dropped, the selected item is highlighted. If no item is selected, no text is displayed when the drop list is collapsed, and no items are highlighted when dropped.
To remove selection, pass a -1 as the index argument.
