              You have to use GetNextSelectedItem(Pos)to get the item index, this will return the item index as 'int', use this 'int' value in GetItemText() and assign 0(zero) to subitem if you are not using the ListCtrl in Report View

                        If you are using MFC, use the CListCtrl::GetNextItem(-1, LVNI_SELECTED) method.

                          It sounds as though you are responding to the LVN_ITEMCHANGED message. When you select an item, more than one item has changed at that point. Study the NMLISTVIEW structure for details.

                                It's considered good practice to read the documentation to confirm/verify what you read here. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/listview/messages/lvm_getnextitem.asp[^]
