Which RTF control do you use? What's the platform? Are you using MFC, or System.Windows.Forms or WPF with C++/CLI, or what?

Typically, selection is set by setting offset "selection start" and "selection length"; you can set both to zero.
You can use raw Windows messages to do that.

Please see my comment. As I don't know what you are using on what platform, I can tell you how can you do it on Windows with raw API.

You can use the message EM_EXSETSEL; set CHARRANGE members to the values you need, for example to zero, to unselect:

If you use different platform or UI framework, you know the idea; find out how selection is controlled.
