Details:

An item can be selected by user action, such as clicking on it, or by the program. If you assign a value to the ListIndex property, the current selection changes to the entry specified by the index number.

When using ListIndex to select an item in code, be sure to use an index item that corresponds to an item that exists in the current list. For example, if there are ten items in the list, the valid index numbers are 0-9. Any other numbers will cause a program exception to be thrown.

The expression List (List1.ListIndex) returns the string for the currently selected item.
