There is no direct way, but it is possible. First, you have to retrieve 
XmNselectedItems, XmNselectedItemCount, XmNitems and XmNitemCount resources 
using XtGetValues. Then you take each item in the XmNselectedItems list
and compare it against the XmNitems list using XmStringCompare. When a match
occurs, the list position is the index of the matched item in the XmNitems
list plus one.
