you are talking about a combobox in simple list view with edit box on top ?
I know mIRC doesn't have that functionality and I'm curious to check in the API to see if that really exists too. Don't forget most of mIRC's dialog controls are custom made (for mIRC 16 bit compatibility) and thus don't necessary reflect what the API can do or does.
And /did -c followed by /did -u doesn't unselect the line ?
You can also clear the contents of the edit with a /did -? where there is a parameter that applies to the edit of a combo (usually 0 for line number.)
