Example

// OnClick is the handler for the NM_CLICK notification 
void CListCtrlDlg::OnClick(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
   UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(pResult);

   LPNMITEMACTIVATE pia = (LPNMITEMACTIVATE)pNMHDR;

   // Get the current mouse location and convert it to client 
   // coordinates.
   CPoint pos( ::GetMessagePos() ); 
   ScreenToClient(&pos);

   // Get indexes of the first and last visible items in  
   // the listview control. 
   int index = m_myListCtrl.GetTopIndex();
   int last_visible_index = index + m_myListCtrl.GetCountPerPage();
   if (last_visible_index > m_myListCtrl.GetItemCount())
       last_visible_index = m_myListCtrl.GetItemCount();

   // Loop until number visible items has been reached. 
   while (index <= last_visible_index)
   {
       // Get the bounding rectangle of an item. If the mouse 
       // location is within the bounding rectangle of the item, 
       // you know you have found the item that was being clicked.
       CRect r;
       m_myListCtrl.GetItemRect(index, &r, LVIR_BOUNDS);
       if (r.PtInRect(pia->ptAction))
           {
               UINT flag = LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED;
               m_myListCtrl.SetItemState(index, flag, flag);
               break;
