  hi Martin,
  
  I dont get the event for my CListCtrl at all !! :(
  
  Can you send me the sample you have created jupitor_rule@yahoo.com

  Overwrite OnLButtonDown, do your own calculation. You can use the CListCtrl::HitTest function. If the returned value is not LVHT_ONITEMICON just exit. Otherwise call the default handler.

  Hi Martin,
  
  Thanks for the reply.
  
  This is what I had initially thought I would do ....
  
  I need to put the following check on one of the message handlers - 
          // Select the item the user clicked on.
          UINT uFlags;
          int nItem = HitTest(GetMessagePos(), &uFlags);
          if  (!(uFlags & (LVHT_ONITEMICON |LVHT_NOWHERE)))
          {
              return CListCtrl::Default();
          }
  
  I had planned to use the lbuttondown for the list control or even its container window. But I never get this event for the control, nor do the parents get this event... We get the message NM_CLICK (list view), at this point the item is alredy selected and it would be quite a bit to keep a track of which one was selected previously . I want a more an elegant approach to fix this problem ... Now, how do I disable the default processing for this event !! :( :(

  Regards
  Jupuitor

  This coce is correct and works in my OnLButtonDown handler perfect!
  
  Sure that the entry was placed in the message Map Its a message for the list control not for the parent of the list control!
