First, add a zero-width column to the listbox.  Next, put the following 
code into the listbox's HeaderPressed method.

  if myclick = true then
    myclick = False
    me.PressHeader(x) //x must be the zero-width column's number
    
  Else
    myclick = True
  end if
  return true

Lastly, create a global property named 'myclick'.  

That should do it.  Regardless of which column header is clicked, nothing 
should happen.  As soon as the user moves the cursor off the header, the 
highlight should go away.

The way is works is ugly but effective.  Calling PressHeader from within 
the HeaderPressed method is recursive and will lead to a Stack Overflow 
error.  So, we essentially set up a flag that tells the method if it was 
called by the user's mouseclick and PressHeader should be called, or by 
the method itself and do nothing.
